Getting to Bhubaneswar

Usually the biggest line in the budget — and the one the estimate above leaves out.

Kolkata → Bhubaneswar

train · 7h

₹700

1 way / person

Delhi → Bhubaneswar

flight · 2h

₹5,000

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Kolkata → Bhubaneswar by train. Return for two works out to about ₹2,800 — so a whole trip lands near ₹6,410 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Bhubaneswar's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
