Mumbai (BOM) to Guwahati (GAU) is a well-served long-haul domestic route with multiple non-stops a day. IndiGo operates daily non-stops and carries the most traffic; Akasa Air also flies the route non-stop every day. Air India and Air India Express add further options, some non-stop and some via a hub.
For the quickest journey, pick a non-stop on IndiGo or Akasa. Connecting itineraries (often via Kolkata or Delhi) exist and can be cheaper, but they roughly double your travel time on an already long sector.
The distance from Mumbai to Guwahati is around 2,620 km — one of the longest domestic sectors in the country, crossing most of India from the west coast to the north-east. A non-stop takes about 3h to 3h 15m.
Connecting routings via Kolkata or Delhi can stretch the total to 6–7 hours once layovers are counted, so the time premium for a non-stop is usually well worth it on this pair.
This is a year-round route carrying business travellers, students and visitors to the North-East. Fares are steadiest when booked 3–6 weeks ahead and climb around festivals and the autumn tourist season.
| Period | Demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Apr | High | Best weather in Assam; peak tourist and festival season |
| May–Jun | Moderate | Hot and humid; fares ease somewhat |
| Jul–Sep (monsoon) | Lower–Moderate | Heavy North-East rains; often the cheapest fares |
| Bihu / Durga Puja / year-end | Very high | Festival surges — book weeks ahead |
Quoted fares move constantly and are indicative only; treat the table as a guide to relative demand.
On a long, popular route there is real money to save by planning ahead:
Morning non-stops from Mumbai land you in Guwahati by early afternoon, leaving daylight to reach the city or push onward to Shillong, Kaziranga or other North-East destinations — useful, as onward road journeys are long and best done in daylight.
Evening departures arrive in Guwahati at night; fine for an overnight in the city, but avoid them if you have a long onward drive the same day.
Business travellers: Take a morning non-stop on IndiGo or Akasa, use web check-in and Digi Yatra, and travel cabin-only to clear GAU quickly.
Families: A daytime non-stop is far gentler than a long connecting itinerary on a 2,600 km sector. Pre-book seats together and pack snacks for the three-hour flight.
Students and budget travellers: Monsoon months usually carry the lowest fares to the North-East. If you take a connection to save money, give yourself a sensible layover so a delay does not strand you.
Mumbai (BOM): Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International has two terminals. Low-cost carriers — IndiGo, Akasa, SpiceJet — use Terminal 1; Air India and Air India Express use Terminal 2, along with international flights. T1 and T2 are about 4 km apart with a free shuttle, so confirm your terminal before you set off.
Guwahati (GAU): Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International opened a large new integrated terminal (T2) in early 2026. Air India, Air India Express, Akasa and SpiceJet have moved to T2, while IndiGo passengers continue to use T1 at the time of writing. Check your operating airline and terminal on your e-ticket.
In Mumbai: Allow plenty of time — the airport sits within the city and traffic to T1 (Santacruz/Vile Parle) or T2 (Sahar/Andheri East) can be slow at peak hours. App cabs, the Metro and pre-paid taxis all serve both terminals.
In Guwahati: The airport is at Borjhar, about 20–25 km west of the city centre — budget 45–60 minutes by cab. Pre-paid taxis, app cabs and airport buses run into Guwahati and onward; for Shillong (about 3 hours) and Kaziranga, arrange a cab or shared sumo in advance.
Standard domestic allowances apply: typically 7 kg cabin and 15 kg checked on low-cost economy fares, with Air India full-service fares often including more. On a long, full flight, getting to the gate early helps secure cabin-bag space.
Digi Yatra is available at both Mumbai and Guwahati for a faster, paperless walk through entry and security — well worth enrolling for a busy hub like BOM. Check the official baggage pages: IndiGo baggage, Akasa Air baggage and Air India baggage.
Guwahati and the wider North-East have a heavy monsoon from June to September, with the region among the wettest in India — pack a good rain jacket and expect occasional weather delays. The best weather is from October to April. Mumbai's own monsoon (June–September) can cause departure delays, so build in buffer time.
If you are heading onward into the North-East, note that several states require an Inner Line Permit (ILP) for visitors — Assam itself does not, but check before onward travel.
On a 2,600 km sector, the non-stop is almost always worth paying a little more for — a one-stop can add 3+ hours. Filter for IndiGo and Akasa non-stops first and only drop to a connection if the saving is real. FlightGPT lets you compare both at a glance, and flags which Guwahati terminal your flight uses so you arrive at the right building.

Yes. Digi Yatra is available at both Mumbai and Guwahati for a faster, paperless walk through entry and security. Enrolling is worthwhile for a busy hub like Mumbai.
Possibly. The North-East sees very heavy rain from June to September, and Mumbai has its own monsoon, so build in buffer time. Flights generally operate, but weather delays can occur at both ends.
Some carriers allow pets in the cabin or hold on domestic flights, subject to advance booking, weight limits and health documents. Policies vary by airline and aircraft and are not guaranteed, so request it well ahead.
Yes. Infants under two travel on a parent's lap at a nominal fare. Carry age proof and request a bassinet seat in advance — useful on a three-hour flight.
Booking directly with the airline can make changes and cancellations simpler. Use a metasearch like FlightGPT to compare IndiGo and Akasa non-stop fares first, then decide where to book.
Assam does not require an Inner Line Permit, but several neighbouring states (such as Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram and Manipur) do. Check the requirement before any onward travel from Guwahati.
