As Abhi explained, leave GQ and continue on NH5 from Baleshwar, and go via Baripada till Baharagora (100 kms from Baleshwar to Baharagora). Turn off NH5 at Baharagora and from here, it is 100 kms to Jamshedpur.

The entire route is great, except for heavy traffic between Hyderabad and Vijaywada, and some bad roads in Orissa. I am told that the road from Baharogara to Jamshedpur is a good road.

Assuming that you are afast driver, I would suggest that you try to reach at least Srikakulam on Day 1. Better still, target Gopalpur-on-Sea which is a lovely beach resor (no to be confused with Gopalpur town or Gopalpur town, turn off at Behrampur, and drive to Gopalpur-on-Sea.

If you are able to reach at least Srikakulam on Day 1, reaching Jamshedpur on Day 2 should nott be a big problem.

On the other hand, if you are a relaxed driver (and wish to enjoy places en route), on Day 1, stop over at Annavaram (Satanarayana Temple near Tuni), Simhachalam (near Vizag), and Vizag's Rushikonda Beach. Stay overnight at Vizag.

On Day 2, proceed to Gopalpur-on-Sea, Rambha (Chilka Lake) and or Puri/Konarak (which is a long detour away from NH5), in which case you can stay at Puri.

On Day 3, proceed direct to Jamshedpur.

Facilities are reasonably OK, but try not to take the road after Baharagora after dark.
