Puri — the divine coastal city of Lord Jagannath — is one of the most beloved destinations for families and pilgrim groups from Jamshedpur. A Tempo Traveller is the ideal vehicle for this journey.
Why Tempo Traveller for Puri?
For groups of 10 to 17 people, a Tempo Traveller is significantly more economical than booking multiple cabs. It keeps the group together, allows for coordinated stops, and the per-person fare is much lower.

- ›Distance: ~430 to 450 km (Jamshedpur to Puri)
- ›Route: Jamshedpur → Balasore → Bhubaneswar → Puri (via NH16 and NH316)

| Seating | Approximate Fare |
|---|

Recommended Plan: Overnight Stop at Bhubaneswar
For a comfortable trip, many groups prefer:
- ›Depart Jamshedpur by 5:00 AM
- ›Reach Bhubaneswar by 1:00 PM (lunch & rest)
- ›Continue to Puri — arrive by 3:00 PM
This avoids night driving and gives your group time to freshen up before evening aarti at Jagannath Temple.
Tips for Group Puri Trip
- Book 7–10 days in advance during peak season (Rath Yatra, summer vacations)
- Carry water and snacks — the highway has limited stops in Odisha
- Temple entry — Jagannath Puri Temple does not allow non-Hindus inside the main temple
- Sea Beach — Puri Beach is close to the temple. Evening is the best time for a beach visit.
