Ten hours in a car is hard for children and elderly people. Many families take the train one way and our car for sightseeing there.

What we tell people before this trip
Plain things that make the day easier. We would rather say them first than after.
Temple darshan is easiest early morning. We plan the first day so you reach in time to rest.
Odisha state permit and tolls are part of the amount we tell you. Nothing is added on the road.
Need a car in Puri itself? The same car stays with you there for Konark, Chilika and temple runs, so you are not looking for a car rental in Puri after you land.

This trip starts from any of these areas. Your gate, not a meeting point.
questions
Barrackpore to Puri
What does the Barrackpore to Puri trip cost?
We do not put a rate online, because the honest amount depends on the vehicle, your dates and whether it is one way or return. Send those three and you get a written amount on WhatsApp, usually within minutes.
Is one way possible or only return?
Both. One way costs less than a return for the same road, and we tell you both amounts so you can choose.
Are tolls, parking and driver food included?
We tell you exactly what is inside the amount and what is not, before you book. Nothing new is added on the road.
Can the car stay with us for local sightseeing?
Yes. Most people keep the same car and driver for the whole trip, which is easier than finding a vehicle there every morning.
How far is Barrackpore to Puri by road, and how long does it take?
It is about 510 km by road and the drive usually takes 10 to 11 hours. We plan for real traffic, not a map estimate, so the pickup time we give you leaves room for the slow stretches.
Can I book a tempo traveller or bus from Barrackpore to Puri?
Yes. For a family or group we do this trip in a tempo traveller, mini bus or larger bus as well as a car. Tell us how many people are going and we suggest the vehicle that fits with the price in writing.
Is the Barrackpore to Puri trip safe for kids and elderly parents?
Yes, this is a family trip for us more often than not. The same drivers have been with us for years, the car is checked before a long run, we plan tea and toilet breaks instead of one long push, and you get the driver name, his number and the car number before pickup. 12,000+ rides so far with a 100% safety record.
How far is Kolkata to Puri by road?
From central Kolkata it is about 494 km, and from Barrackpore about 510 km. We start the trip from either side, so tell us your address and we plan the pickup time from there.
not sure yet? send the date anyway. If we cannot do it, we will say so.
