About This Route
Travel from the sacred shores of Puri to Cuttack, the historic Silver City and former capital of Odisha. This 84-kilometer journey takes you through the heart of coastal Odisha, connecting the spiritual hub of Jagannath Temple with the commercial, judicial, and cultural center of Cuttack.
Cuttack, situated at the apex of the Mahanadi Delta, is renowned for its silver filigree work, historic monuments, and vibrant festivals. The city serves as Odisha's judicial capital, home to the High Court of Odisha, and hosts major institutions like SCB Medical College, Ravenshaw University, and the famous Barabati Fort.
Our reliable taxi service ensures a comfortable journey with experienced local drivers who know every stretch of NH316 and NH16 — including the poorly lit patches near Phulnakhara and Bhanpur. Whether you're traveling for medical treatment, court appearances, academic purposes, or exploring Cuttack's rich heritage, we make your trip smooth and hassle-free.

Why Choose PuriTaxi
Unlike large aggregators whose base fares inflate by 30–40% at checkout, every puritaxi.in quote includes fuel, GST, and driver allowance. Toll charges (typically ₹120–₹180 on NH316/NH16) are disclosed upfront — never added as a surprise.
Our drivers are born and raised in Odisha. They know every stretch of NH316 and NH16 — including the poorly lit patches near Phulnakhara and Bhanpur — so your journey is safe even on late-night rides. All drivers are background-verified and trained in defensive driving.
We believe your fare shouldn't change based on rain, festivals, or traffic. Our rates are fixed 365 days a year, including during Rath Yatra season, Diwali, and public holidays.
Every vehicle in our fleet is FASTag-compliant, ensuring smooth passage through toll plazas with no cash delays — and no double-toll penalty under the 2025 MoRTH toll regulations.
Medical transfers to SCB Medical College, judicial commutes to High Court of Odisha, academic travel to Ravenshaw University, pilgrim groups, and corporate transfers — we serve all travel needs with dedicated service.
Dedicated support team available throughout your journey. Book anytime, day or night. We're always ready to serve you with instant confirmation and real-time assistance.
