Guwahati is the gateway to the Seven Sister States of Northeast India — Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh. The launch of this route significantly shortens travel time for NRIs from the Northeast, who currently face 5–8 hour transit journeys via metros.

About Guwahati

Guwahati is the gateway to the Northeast — the Kamakhya Temple, Brahmaputra river cruises, and road links to Shillong, Kaziranga and Tawang. Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (GAU) is the region's main hub. October to April is the ideal season.

When to book Dubai to Guwahati

Gulf–India fares are cheapest booked 3–8 weeks out. They climb sharply inside the final ten days, and again around Eid, Diwali, Onam and the summer school holidays, when the whole corridor fills with visiting-family traffic. Midweek departures price lower than Thursday and Friday, which are the busiest days out of the Gulf.
