East coast and Siliguri corridor to Assam, east to the railhead city of Dimapur, then the NH-29 climb 74 winding kilometres up to Kohima’s hills.
Dimapur is the route’s pivot — the plains railhead with the region’s airport and hospitals, before the three-hour climb to Kohima. That geography shapes our advice: many Kohima transfers are best designed as road-or-flight to Dimapur with our vehicle running the hill leg, and Naga families travelling from Hyderabad hospitals often rotate attendants there. The climb itself is driven daylight-only with a fresh driver.

Frequently asked questions
Can the transfer end at Dimapur instead of Kohima?
Yes, and it often should — Dimapur has the region’s airport, railhead and hospitals on the plains. Families frequently take handover there or let us run just the hill leg; we design around the patient, not the postcode.
How long does an ambulance take from Hyderabad to Kohima?
About 3 days (staged) hours for the 2550 km via NH-16 → Kolkata → NH-27 → Dimapur → NH-29 hill climb, 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 Kohima 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.
