Guwahati to Tehran Flights

The Guwahati to Tehran air route connects Borjhar (GAU) to Imam Khomeini Airport (IKA). This is one of the busiest international routes with multiple daily departures operated by 6 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 Tehran. 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.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Tehran is during the spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October). The weather is pleasant during these months, avoiding the extreme heat of summer and the cold of winter. Consider Nowruz, the Persian New Year, in March for cultural celebrations.

Getting from the airport to Tehran

Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKA) is about 30 km from Tehran city center. The Tehran Metro has a direct line to the airport; a ticket costs approximately 20,000 Iranian Rial. Taxis are readily available but more expensive, costing around 800,000 to 1,200,000 Rial.

Things to do in Tehran

Visit the Golestan Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site showcasing Persian architecture. Explore the National Museum of Iran, displaying artifacts from prehistoric to Islamic eras. Take a cable car ride to Tochal Mountain for panoramic city views. Wander through the Tehran Grand Bazaar, a traditional marketplace with diverse goods.

Food to try

Try Chelo Kebab, the national dish of Iran, consisting of grilled meat served with rice. Sample Ghormeh Sabzi, a flavorful herb stew with kidney beans and lamb. Doogh, a savory yogurt-based drink, is a refreshing accompaniment to meals.

Local tips

Dress modestly, especially at religious sites; women should cover their heads. Familiarize yourself with basic Persian phrases as English is not widely spoken. Be aware of local customs and traditions, particularly during religious holidays.
