Smaller cities and towns often mean longer travel times to Delhi NCR — sometimes an overnight train, or a connecting flight through a larger hub. That makes it even more worth confirming your visit is necessary, and understanding exactly what it will involve, before you commit the time and cost of travel.
A teleconsultation is the right first step in almost every case. If travel is genuinely needed — for a procedure, or an in-person second opinion — plan for a longer, less flexible journey than a Tier 2 patient might, and build in a buffer day either side of your appointment where possible.
The Travel Planner accounts for this — tell it how many days you have until your appointment and it will flag anything that needs booking urgently.
