Medically reviewed by Dr. C. Raghavendra Reddy, Medical Oncologist, MBBS (Gold Medal) · DNB · DM (Medical Oncology, Gold Medal) · Last reviewed September 2026
- Mid-distance districts — Suryapet, Siddipet and Peddapalli are each between 100 and 180 km from Hyderabad — a manageable day trip with the right planning.
- Buses and trains connect all three — TSRTC buses run regularly from all three districts. Suryapet and Peddapalli also have railway stations with services to Secunderabad.
- Same-day return is often possible — Siddipet and Suryapet patients with early starts are usually home before dark. Peddapalli is a longer, more tiring day.
- Aarogyasri is the right scheme here — All three districts are in Telangana. Aarogyasri covers chemotherapy at empanelled centres — bring your card on the first visit.

What should I do before my first trip to Hyderabad?

- Carry your Aarogyasri card and referral letterAlso bring any previous scans, blood reports, and biopsy records on the first visit.
- Ask the team to book you an early slotTell them how far you are coming — an early start gives you time to return the same day.
- Bring someone with you, especially for the first cycleUntil you know how your body responds to treatment, travelling alone adds unnecessary risk.
- Pack food, water, and your daily medicinesTreatment days can be long. Do not rely on finding a meal near the centre.
- Save the centre's number before you leave homeCall ahead if your bus or train is delayed so the team can adjust your slot.

Is same-day return from Suryapet, Siddipet or Peddapalli realistic?
Siddipet is the closest at around 100 km. Most patients who leave by 6 am reach the centre in time for a morning slot and are home before dark. TSRTC buses run regularly from Siddipet bus stand to Hyderabad.
Suryapet is around 155 km away. Buses and trains from Suryapet Road station both reach Secunderabad, and the journey typically takes two and a half to three hours. Same-day return is possible — ask your team to book an early slot, because a late finish makes the return very hard.
Peddapalli is around 180 km by road. Trains from Peddapalli to Secunderabad run daily and take around three hours each way. Same-day return is possible if you leave early and feel well after treatment, but it is a long day. If fatigue from previous cycles has been difficult, ask your team whether staying one night nearby makes more sense for you.
Does Aarogyasri cover chemotherapy in Hyderabad?
Aarogyasri is the Telangana government health scheme. It covers day-care and inpatient chemotherapy at empanelled private hospitals. Since Suryapet, Siddipet, and Peddapalli are all in Telangana, this is the scheme that applies to you.
Bring your Aarogyasri card and a referral letter from a government hospital on your first visit. Your team will confirm what pre-authorisation is needed for your specific treatment plan.
Aarogyasri does not automatically cover every drug or regimen. Ask your oncologist at the first appointment which parts of your treatment are covered and whether any component would be charged separately. Ask for that answer in writing if it will help you plan.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the journey from Suryapet to Hyderabad take?
TSRTC buses from Suryapet to Hyderabad generally take between two and a half and three hours depending on the service and traffic. Trains from Suryapet Road station to Secunderabad take a similar time. Check the TSRTC website or Indian Railways app for the first departure of the day — you want to reach the centre well before a morning appointment. Build in extra time on your first visit because you may not yet know the route from the terminus to the centre.
Is there a direct train from Peddapalli to Hyderabad?
Yes. Trains from Peddapalli run to Secunderabad, which is the main Hyderabad terminus for this route. The journey takes around three hours. Look for a morning departure that gets you to Secunderabad by 8 am — that gives you enough time to reach the centre before a standard morning slot. Check current timings on the NTES app or at Peddapalli station, as schedules can change seasonally.
What if I feel too unwell to travel home after treatment?
Tell the nursing team before you leave the centre. They can advise whether it is safe to travel and help you decide what to do. Some patients who come from a distance book a budget lodge or dharamshala near the centre for one night on treatment days. This is much easier to arrange in advance than when you are unwell and tired after a long session. Ask your team at the first appointment whether they can suggest somewhere nearby for patients travelling from your district.
Can a family member travel with me under Aarogyasri?
Aarogyasri covers the patient's treatment, not the travel or accommodation of accompanying family members. Your family can come with you as a carer, but their costs are at your own expense. Some families rotate who accompanies the patient across cycles to share the burden. Confirm the exact terms with the Aarogyasri coordinator at the centre on your first visit, as entitlements can vary depending on which treatment package your care falls under.
How early should I leave to make a morning appointment?
From Siddipet, leaving by 6.30 am is usually enough. From Suryapet or Peddapalli, aim to leave by 5.30 to 6 am to allow for travel time and the journey from the bus stand or railway station to the centre. Add an extra 30 minutes on your first visit — you may not know the local route yet. Arriving a little early is always better than arriving late on a treatment day.
What do I do if I am too unwell to travel for a cycle?
Call the centre as early as possible — ideally the day before. Do not miss the appointment without telling anyone, as your team may need to reschedule your slot and adjust other patients' plans. If you are unwell, your oncologist will decide whether to delay the cycle, adjust the dose, or manage the side effect first. Missing without notice can disrupt your treatment plan in ways that are hard to recover. Your team would always rather hear from you.
