Bikaner is located in the Thar Desert region of Rajasthan, characterized by Desert vegetation (xerophytic shrubs, grasses). Traveling east towards Konark (Odisha) involves crossing vast areas of central India, which primarily fall under the Tropical Deciduous forest belt (mostly dry deciduous in the western and central parts of the route). Konark is on the coast, and while the immediate area might be Moist Deciduous/Tropical Dry Deciduous, coastal regions, especially deltaic ones (like nearby areas in Odisha), support Mangrove vegetation. Thus, the sequence Desert -> Tropical deciduous -> Mangrove broadly represents the transition of vegetation zones.

Vegetation types in India change significantly with variations in rainfall and climate, following geographical regions.

The shortest route would likely traverse Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha, covering diverse landscapes and climatic zones.
