The eastern seaboard to Kolkata, the Siliguri corridor into Assam, east past Guwahati to Dimapur, then the mountain highway through Kohima and the Naga hills down into the Imphal valley.
Imphal is our longest and most demanding destination — a genuinely staged journey we plan as three legs with reassessment halts at Kolkata and Guwahati, and the final mountain leg driven only in daylight. We are direct with families: for most patients, flying the Kolkata–Imphal or Guwahati–Imphal leg with our medical escort serves the patient better, with the road ambulance handling both ends. Road end-to-end is for cases where equipment continuity is non-negotiable.

Frequently asked questions
Do you really run road ambulances to Imphal?
Yes, as a staged three-leg journey — but we counsel most families toward a hybrid: road to the nearest airport, flight with our medical escort, road again at Imphal. We plan whichever design the patient’s condition truly requires, not the one that bills the most kilometres.
How long does an ambulance take from Hyderabad to Imphal?
About 3 days (staged) hours for the 2650 km via NH-16 → Kolkata → Siliguri → NH-27 → Dimapur–Kohima → NH-2, including patient halts. Ambulances drive steadily for the patient’s comfort — a private car’s time is not the right benchmark.
Can a critical patient travel from Hyderabad to Imphal by road?
Usually yes, with the right configuration: ICU vehicle, matching crew, oxygen with deep reserve, and en-route hospitals marked. The treating doctor’s travel clearance is the starting point — we screen every case honestly and advise if rail or air would serve better.
