Explore Guwahati

Guwahati is famous for the Kamakhya Temple, one of India's 51 Shakti Peethas and the country's most important centre of Tantric worship. It is the gateway to Kaziranga National Park, which holds the world's largest population of the Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros. The Brahmaputra River at its widest runs through the city, with ferry access to Umananda Island, the world's smallest river island, a short ride from the main ghat.

The best time for a Guwahati holiday is October to April. November to March is optimal for Kaziranga: dry season means lower vegetation and rhinos near water. June draws pilgrims to Kamakhya for the Ambubachi Mela. Avoid July and August: monsoon flooding affects Kaziranga and Brahmaputra crossing roads.

Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (GAU) has daily direct flights from Delhi (2.5 hrs), Mumbai (3 hrs), Bangalore (2.5 hrs), Kolkata (1 hr), and Chennai (2 hrs). Alike includes airport to hotel transfer in every Guwahati package. By rail, the Rajdhani Express from Delhi reaches Guwahati in 36 hours.

Alike's Guwahati packages use five confirmed 5-star properties: Radisson Blu Hotel Guwahati, Vivanta Guwahati, Novotel Guwahati GS Road, Arista By Ambition, and Kiranshree Grand. The Greenwood is the primary 4-star option. All properties are directly contracted and pre-verified. Property selection is confirmed during the Alike travel advisor call after Rs.999 reservation.

Yes. Guwahati is the base for Shillong (100 km, 2.5 hrs) and Kaziranga (200 km, 4 hrs). The standard Alike North East circuit begins in Guwahati, transfers to Shillong for Meghalaya exploration, then returns for a Kaziranga day trip. A 5-night itinerary covers Guwahati, Shillong, Cherrapunji, Dawki, and Kaziranga with all transfers private.

Kaziranga National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Assam, 200 kilometres east of Guwahati. It holds approximately 2,400 Greater One-Horned Rhinoceroses, over two-thirds of the global population. The park also supports Bengal tigers, Asian elephants, wild water buffalo, and swamp deer. Alike arranges Kaziranga day trips as part of every Guwahati package.

Alike's Guwahati couple packages include a Brahmaputra sunset river cruise, a private tea garden tour at Amchong Estate with dinner, and ferry access to Umananda Island at dawn. Vivanta Guwahati's riverside setting is Alike's top recommendation for couples. A combined Guwahati and Shillong package adds Dawki's crystal-clear river and Cherrapunji's waterfalls.
