Hi @Rajesh, Hyderabad to Ranchi will show up approx. around 1400 kms which can be done in 2 days. I would suggest you to start your drive before the early sunrise around 4 a.m. 

 

Day - 1  -  Hyderabad - Nizamabad - Adilabad - Nagpur - Raipur (Night stay) ----->  ~800 kms

Start time - 4:00 a.m    End time - 7:00 p.m. 

 

Day - 2 - Raipur - Sambalpur - Kolabira - Simdega - Kunti - Ranchi           -----> ~600 kms       

Start time - 4:00 a.m.    End time - 6:00 p.m. 

 

Any delay in your start time might delay your drive by long hours due to heavy truck traffic and bad roads throughout the highway. 

 

The road condition between Hyderabad to Adilabad is excellent with less traffic and then the road till you reach Nagpur and RAipur, the road deteriorates but still you can cruise at 100 Kmph except for a few bad stretches inbetween.

 

The road from Raipur to Ranchi passes through a lot of truck traffic as there are a lot of mines and few forests stretches. Expect few traffic jams but if you get lucky nothing like it.

 

Have a safe drive

Plan A
@Sagar suggestion is fastest and the best route.

Hyderabad --> Nagpur --> Raipur --> Ranchi : 1400 kilometers

 

Hyderabad to Nagpur : road condition is super good, 4-lane
Nagpur to Raipur : road condition is average, single lane.
Raipur to Ranchi :  road condition is average. single lane.(some stretches are bad)

 

Start as early as possible to avoid village traffic and bikers.

 

Plan B
If you want to explore places en-route and have time in hand, I would suggest you the following plan.

 

Day1
Hyderabad --> Vijayawada --> Rajahmundry--> Vishakapatnam : 620 kilometers

Road condition : 4-lane toll road, excellent. 

Explore beaches in Vishakapatam, you will find beach view accommodation for reasonable price.

 

Day2

Vishakapatnam--> Srikakulam --> Brahmapur --> Puri : 445 Kilometers

Road condition: 4-lane toll road, excellent. Last few kilometers is single lane.

Explore beaches in Puri. One of the best beaches on that coastal line.

Day 3

Puri --> Cuttak --> Chakradharpura --> Ranchi : 510 Kilometers

Road condition: 2-lane and road is average, start early in the morning.

The information from @sagar and @gowthamwas spot on.. high end trucks are common in these areas as it's filled with large mines. These heavily loaded trucks also leave the roads in complete tatters which is a major concern. The roads otherwise are pretty fine

[ramuc]

I don't think the roads approaching Ranchi from the south after nagpur are any good. I doubt if you would get good roads between Raipur and Ranchi

[vivek]

Raipur-Ranchi, I am not sure there is any route where you are likely to get predominantly good roads. Jharkhand side has quite a few  nasty speed breakers enroute

[rajesh]

Thaks guys for your kind suggestions and advice.

 

Any suggestions about the following options?

 

Nagpur --> Raipur --> Ambikapur --> Jashpur --> Gumla --> ranchi

Hyderabad --> Bhuneshwar --> Anandpur --> Jaitgarh --> Chakdarpur --> Khunti --> Ranchi

 

I have to finish in two days, I need to attend some function.

Its four lane

[Guest Anuj]

Guys I have driven thrice from Hyderabad to Ranchi route.

 

Hyderabad --- Bhilai(night stay,i prefer than Raipur) -- Sambhalpur -- Jharsuguda -- Khuti -- Ranchi

 

Above is best road, Hyderabad till Sambhal pur its 4 lane throughout (few patches before Nagpur and in between ), don't follow map my india,

 

it takes you via Subdega (after Jharsuguda) i used this road once for two and fro,
it is quite lonely and dangerous,as i cross via some villages and with almost no commuters.

Avoid jashur ,ambika pur etc.

Hi Anuj look like you are very frequent Traveller from Hyderabad to Ranchi I am travelling next week from Raipur to Ranchi can you suggest me some best route with good roads I am travelling with my family by car

[Aaditya]

Hi Skp.

 

Go straight to Sambalpur from Raipur on 4 laned NH from there go to Rourkela via touching Sundergar

Before entering Rourkela there is a temple comes from there take Ranchi route (Don't go inside rourkela city).

 

Rourkela-Simdega-khunti-Ranchi = Good roads.

 

Try to complete your journey in day time.

 

P.S- Around 20-25km before Rourkela ,there is another bypass type route ,for Ranchi.

If you are travelling by bike then it's okay,

otherwise try to avoid, because it passes from village section.

 

Keep Revving.Drive safe.

Hyderabad to Nagpur : Roads are good

Nagpur to Sambalpur : Roads are good

Sambalpur to Ranchi : Roads are average

 

You need to make a halt, so plan accordingly.
Doing it in a single day is not possible. 

[Bharat]

Hyderabad to Nagpur road is good (except some pot hole on road between Kelapur toll and Borkhendi toll)

Nagpur and Sambalpur is good (except two way road at three places after Nagpur before Bhilai)

Sambalpur to Jharkhand boarder is average except one or two place bad road (mostly two way road once you leave Sambalpur highway 

Jharkhand boarder to Kolebera very bad road (you can say no raod at all for 3 km near Kolebera)

Kolebera to Larba + 2KM road is average, after that road is good except breaker until Ranchi.

Hyderabad > Nagpur > Raipur > Ranchi as suggested by maps.
Raipur has decent stays. 
Drive is going to be hectic in two days.

Plan to start early form Hyderabad. Roads are decent but they get bad towards the end of the journey.
