Khan Sir Hospital is reported to be located at:
Ashok Rajpath, near Patna College, opposite Pillar No. 54 (Double Decker Bridge), Patna, Bihar 800004

Ashok Rajpath is one of Patna’s oldest and busiest roads, running along the Ganga. The area around Patna College and the Double Decker Bridge (the elevated road corridor near Gandhi Maidan) is a well-known part of the city, so most auto drivers and cab drivers should recognise the landmarks even if they are unsure of the hospital’s name.
Route 1: From Patna Junction Railway Station
Patna Junction (station code PNBE) is the main railway station and the arrival point for most outstation visitors. The hospital on Ashok Rajpath is roughly 3–4 km from the station, depending on the exact route taken.
Option A: Shared auto / e-rickshaw (budget-friendly)
- Exit the station from the main (eastern) side towards the auto stand.
- Look for shared autos heading towards Gandhi Maidan / Ashok Rajpath / Patna College.
- Shared autos typically charge a small per-person fare; the ride takes about 15–25 minutes depending on traffic.
- Ask the driver to drop you near Patna College on Ashok Rajpath or opposite Pillar No. 54 of the Double Decker Bridge.
Option B: App-based cab or private auto
- Book a cab through your usual app, or hire a private auto from the prepaid counter outside the station.
- The drive usually takes 15–30 minutes depending on traffic. Morning peak hours (9–11 AM) can be slow on the roads leading towards Gandhi Maidan.
- Fares vary by time of day and demand; check the app estimate before confirming.
Option C: City bus
- City buses run from the station area towards Gandhi Maidan and Ashok Rajpath.
- This is the cheapest option but can be crowded and slower, so it suits patients who are feeling reasonably well and travelling light.
Tips for railway arrivals
- If you arrive with heavy luggage, a cab or private auto is far more comfortable than a shared auto.
- Keep the hospital’s reported phone number (+91 62002 88285) handy so you can call for directions if your driver is unsure.
- Early morning trains work well because OPD services are generally reported to run in the mornings — arriving early gives you the best chance of same-day consultation.
Route 2: From Gandhi Maidan
Gandhi Maidan is Patna’s most famous landmark and a major transport hub, and it sits very close to Ashok Rajpath.
On foot (if you are nearby and able)
- From the Gandhi Maidan area, head towards Ashok Rajpath (the road running along the northern side, towards the river).
- Patna College lies on Ashok Rajpath, a short distance from the Maidan. The walk is roughly 10–20 minutes depending on your starting point.
- This is practical only if you are travelling light and the patient can walk comfortably. In Patna’s summer heat, avoid walking midday.
By shared auto or e-rickshaw
- Shared autos and e-rickshaws constantly ply the Gandhi Maidan–Ashok Rajpath–Patna College stretch.
- The ride is short — typically 5–15 minutes — and inexpensive.
- Tell the driver: “Ashok Rajpath, Patna College ke paas, Double Decker Bridge ke Pillar No. 54 ke saamne.”
By cab
- A short cab ride from Gandhi Maidan is quick and comfortable, though for such a short distance a private auto is often faster in traffic.
Key Landmarks to Look For
When you are close, watch for these reported landmarks in order:
- Gandhi Maidan — the huge historic ground; everything is measured from here.
- Ashok Rajpath — the main road heading east from the Maidan towards the river side.
- Patna College — one of the oldest colleges in Bihar, right on Ashok Rajpath.
- Double Decker Bridge, Pillar No. 54 — the hospital is reported to be opposite this pillar.
- The hospital signage — look for the hospital’s name board; if you cannot spot it, ask nearby shopkeepers, who usually know new landmarks quickly.
If at any point you feel lost, stop and ask a local shopkeeper or call the hospital’s reported number rather than wandering with a patient.
Tips for Elderly Patients and Those with Luggage
- Travel light: Carry only one bag with documents, medicines, water and a light snack. Leave the rest at your hotel or with family.
- Choose comfort over savings: For senior citizens, pregnant women or patients in pain, a private cab or auto is worth the extra cost.
- Carry water and medication: Patna traffic can be unpredictable; keep drinking water and any regular medicines within easy reach.
- Wheelchair needs: If the patient cannot walk, call the hospital in advance (on the reported number) to ask about wheelchair assistance and the nearest drop-off point.
- Avoid peak heat: Between April and June, plan travel before 10 AM or after 4 PM.
