This airport is well-linked to major Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Kolkata. Once you land in Bhubaneswar, you can easily hire a private cab or hop on a state transport bus heading to Rajnagar or Kendrapara. The drive takes around 4 to 4.5 hours, and you’ll enjoy some beautiful rural scenery along the way.

After you arrive, you can take a taxi or bus to Rajnagar, followed by a short drive to the resort. The road trip can take anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on which station you arrive at.
