A straightforward highway run
NH16 north is one of the easier long drives from Bhubaneswar, which makes a four-hour transfer predictable.
North Odisha Transfer
Bhubaneswar Airport to Balasore Taxi
Balasore sits about four hours north of the airport on NH16, and it is the gateway to Chandipur, Remuna, and the coastal belt beyond. Most people taking this transfer are heading somewhere past Balasore rather than to the town itself.

Who books the airport to Balasore transfer
This transfer carries a mix of visitors and returning residents: families heading for Chandipur where the sea famously withdraws at low tide, pilgrims going to the Khirachora Gopinath temple at Remuna, business travellers working the north Odisha belt, and people simply going home to Balasore after a flight. Many continue further north towards Digha or into West Bengal.
- Chandipur beach trips, particularly around the low-tide window.
- Temple visits to Remuna and the surrounding circuit.
- Business and government travel across the north Odisha districts.
- Residents returning to Balasore, Soro, and Bhadrak after a flight.
Four hours up NH16
The route runs north through Cuttack and on past Bhadrak and Soro. It is a good highway for most of its length, and the slow section is the Cuttack stretch near the start rather than anything later. Four hours is a fair estimate that already allows for a halt.
- The Cuttack stretch is the main congestion point on the way out.
- Highway halts around Bhadrak and Soro are the usual break.
- Chandipur is a further short hop east of Balasore towards the coast.
- Continuing north towards Digha or West Bengal is a separate quote.
Balasore, and what lies beyond it
Balasore town itself is a compact district headquarters and drops there are simple. The reason to mention your real destination is that a large share of this traffic does not stop in Balasore at all — Chandipur is roughly a further sixteen kilometres, and Remuna is a short detour. Saying so while booking gets the whole trip priced as one plan.
- Say if Chandipur, Remuna, or a point beyond is the actual destination.
- Chandipur tide timing matters; the beach is unremarkable at high water.
- Hotel drops in Balasore town are straightforward at any hour.
- Onward travel into West Bengal is quoted separately as an interstate trip.
Choosing the vehicle for this transfer
Four hours each way makes this a proper long transfer. Groups heading for a coastal break usually carry more than they expect, and the middle option is the one most families end up wanting.
- Sedan for one or two travellers with light bags.
- Ertiga for families and coastal-trip luggage.
- Innova for groups, elders, or an onward multi-stop plan.
