Cheapest time to fly & book
Guwahati's peak is October–April, when the weather is dry and Kaziranga and the Northeast are most accessible; Bihu festival periods and winter holidays push fares up. The cheapest months are typically the monsoon (June–September), when rain reduces leisure demand into Assam. For this connecting trip, booking ≈ 4–6 weeks ahead generally captures reasonable prices. Indicative fares are live on FlightGPT as of May 2026.
Flight duration & routing
Expect ≈ 6–9h door-to-door including one stop; this is a genuinely long cross-country pair, roughly diagonally across India. Realistic hubs are Kolkata (CCU), Bengaluru (BLR) and Delhi (DEL).
