Best time to fly

The best time to visit Guwahati is during the winter months, from October to March, when the weather is pleasant and ideal for sightseeing. Avoid the monsoon season (June to September) due to heavy rainfall and potential flooding. The Ambubachi Mela at Kamakhya Temple in June is a major festival, but it can get very crowded.

Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (GAU) is about 20 km from Guwahati city centre. You can take a prepaid taxi for around ₹500-₹700. Airport buses are also available at a lower cost, approximately ₹100 per person.

Things to do in Guwahati

Food to try

Try the traditional Assamese thali, which includes rice, dal, vegetables, and fish or meat preparations. Sample the local street food, such as momos and thukpa. Don't miss trying 'pitha', a type of rice cake, especially during festivals.
