Our figure is OpenStreetMap road data (302 km, 3 hr 36 min free-flow) plus 60 minutes for traffic and the 120-minute check-in window. The road time varies — rush hour and monsoon both add to it, so open the Google Maps link above for the journey as it is now. Check the Jagdalpur Airport timetable for the departure you are actually catching.
How to travel
Rather than publish a number we have not checked, we would rather say nothing. What we can tell you is the distance — 302 km, about 3 hr 36 min of driving — which is enough to sanity-check any quote you are given.
App cabs (Ola, Uber) serve this route , though for a journey this long a negotiated taxi or the prepaid counter is usually the better option . The prepaid taxi counter in the arrivals hall will quote a fixed price before you set off.
Going by train instead
At 302 km this is a 3 hr 36 min drive, and many people prefer the train. There is no station at the airport, so the journey has two legs: a cab between the airport and Jagdalpur railway station, then the train.
Plan it backwards from the train, not the flight, and treat the transfer as the risky part. We do not publish live train running status — check the railways' own information before you travel.
