Guwahati to Pokhara Flights

The Guwahati to Pokhara air route connects Borjhar (GAU) to Pokhara (PKR). This is one of the busiest international routes with multiple daily departures operated by 5 airlines.

As an international route, travellers need a valid passport and appropriate visa for the destination country. It's recommended to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights.

Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Guwahati and Pokhara. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many Indians travel from Guwahati to Pokhara for scenic mountain views and adventure activities. Pokhara offers a laid-back atmosphere compared to Kathmandu, with stunning views of the Annapurna range. It's a popular destination for trekkers and those seeking natural beauty.

Best time to fly

October to December and March to May are ideal due to clear skies and pleasant temperatures. Avoid the monsoon season (June to September) as heavy rainfall can disrupt travel plans and obscure mountain views. The Teej festival in late August/early September is a vibrant cultural experience.
