🗓️ Guwahati Through the Year
Guwahati experiences a humid subtropical climate. Summers are hot and humid with frequent rainfall, while winters are pleasant and dry. The monsoon season brings heavy rainfall, often leading to flooding.
Festivals and events worth timing your visit
Visit during Ambubachi Mela in June at the Kamakhya Temple, a significant Hindu festival. Bihu, Assam's harvest festival, is celebrated thrice a year, with Bohag Bihu in April being the most vibrant, showcasing Assamese culture.
What to pack
Pack light cotton clothing for the hot and humid summer months. If visiting during the monsoon, carry rain gear like umbrellas and raincoats. For winter, light woolens are sufficient.
Saving money
Hotel prices are generally lower during the monsoon season (June to September). Flights are often cheaper during the off season, excluding festival times. Consider homestays for budget friendly accommodations.
