How to get there by Air
The sole airport in the state is at Bhubaneshwar. It caters to domestic flights alone. There are frequent flights from Kolkata, Delhi, Chennai and Hyderabad, linking Orissa to the other parts of India. Cabs, airport to city shuttle bus services, auto rickshaws, rickshaws and mini buses are available outside the airport to ferry travellers to the city.

How to get there by Rail
Bhubaneshwar and Behrampore are the two railheads in the state that are connected by trains to all the other metro cities of India like Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai.

How to get there by Road
Scheduled buses to Calcutta and to Visakhapatnam in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh arrive at regular intervals. Driving oneself can be fraught with adventure, not always a happy experience as roadside facilities are lacking. In a bus, the breakdown is the driver’s headache, not yours. If you do decide to rent a car though, the good news is that self-drive cars are not available and so, you get a driver who can then be chauffeur, companion and guide as well!!

Getting around
Buses and mini buses, trains and driving by car are ways to get around the state. A meter gauge train line links Bhubaneshwar and Puri. Government and private buses, taxis, rented cars etc will take you wherever you want to go. Plenty of tours of the main tourist circuit are available for very reasonable rates and are very popular with those short of time or on tight budgets.
