Night Trains and the Last 95 Kilometres
Cuttack Junction catches many long-distance trains that skip Puri entirely, which makes the station-to-Puri cab — 90 to 95 km, 2 to 2.5 hours via the Bhubaneswar bypass and NH316 — the standard final leg. The road is fast and dual-carriage most of the way; late-night runs are routine and often quicker than daytime.
For night arrivals, share your coach number and exit side in advance so the driver positions in the correct parking; a name board is standard for post-midnight trains. Daytime travellers can fold in Dhauli or Pipili en route to Puri at little extra cost in time. Families landing off overnight journeys generally pick an Ertiga or Innova — stretching out for the last two hours is worth it.
