Ambulance from Hyderabad to Mangaluru
Ambulance transfers from Hyderabad to Mangaluru (Mangalore), Karnataka, usually run along NH-44, NH-75 (Shiradi Ghat) or NH-66 via Bengaluru, Hassan or Hubballi, Karwar coast. Journeys of this length are commonly driven overnight, so oxygen reserve, halts and driver rest are planned before the ambulance leaves Hyderabad.
Mangaluru is on the Karnataka coast beyond the Western Ghats; the ghat section and heavy monsoon rain (June to September) are the main factors in timing, and Mangaluru is one of Karnataka's larger medical-college cities.

Hospital or home in Mangaluru
Before the ambulance leaves Hyderabad, confirm either the bed at the receiving hospital or that someone will receive the patient at home in Mangaluru.
What to plan for on this route
- This is an interstate journey from Telangana into Karnataka. Keep the discharge summary, prescriptions, reports and identity documents together in one folder that travels with the patient.
- The main language in Mangaluru is Kannada. If the family doesn't speak it, arrange a local contact who can speak with the receiving hospital staff at handover.
- The route crosses ghat sections with winding roads. Tell us if the patient has spinal or orthopaedic injuries or is prone to nausea, so speed and positioning can be planned. Allow extra time in heavy monsoon rain (June to September).
- The west coast receives very heavy monsoon rain between June and September, which slows road travel.
