Looking for cheap flights from Mumbai to Jorhat? FlightGPT compares live BOM to JRH fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, Gulf hubs, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side. Whether you want a Mumbai to Jorhat non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Mumbai-Jorhat fare is one search away.
IndiGo dominates this corridor with 1-stop options via Guwahati (GAU), offering one of the more convenient layover combinations given that GAU–JRH is a short ≈ 45-minute hop. Air India also serves BOM–CCU–JRH, a longer but sometimes competitively priced option. As of June 2026, no carrier runs a non-stop BOM–JRH flight. Alliance Air previously connected smaller Assam towns but has since suspended operations, so options remain limited to major carriers. Always compare both hub options at the time of booking since schedule availability changes seasonally.
The BOM–CCU leg takes ≈ 2h 30m; CCU–JRH is ≈ 1h 10m, making the total elapsed time around 4h 30m–5h including layover. The BOM–GAU segment is slightly longer (≈ 3h), but GAU–JRH at ≈ 45m can produce a comparable or even faster total journey if the layover is short. Guwahati hub options work particularly well for travellers also visiting Kaziranga National Park (≈ 80 km from Jorhat) since the airport roads are direct. Kolkata connections may be preferable for afternoon departure patterns. Check minimum connection times — 60 minutes at CCU and GAU is generally safe.
Mumbai–Jorhat economy fares start from around ₹5,500 on the cheapest booking windows and can reach ₹14,000–₹18,000 during peak Assam tourist season (November to March) or when last-minute availability is thin. Jorhat has limited seat inventory compared to major metros, which means fares spike sharply closer to travel date. Booking 4–6 weeks ahead typically yields the best value. September and early October (post-monsoon, pre-peak) offer the lowest fares and still-beautiful tea-garden landscapes. Avoid December–January (peak wildlife season at Kaziranga) unless booked far in advance. Fares are indicative as of June 2026.
All domestic sectors are covered by Indian domestic baggage rules. As of June 2026, IndiGo's base economy fare includes 15 kg check-in and 7 kg cabin baggage. Air India domestic economy allows 15 kg check-in. If you buy the two sectors on a single PNR from the same carrier, your bags can usually be through-checked to JRH, saving a reclaim at the hub. Purchasing sectors on separate bookings means you must reclaim and re-check at CCU or GAU, which significantly affects feasible connection times. Given tight Jorhat capacity, booking through on one PNR is strongly recommended.
Jorhat Airport (Rowriah Airport, IATA: JRH) is a small civilian-use airfield about 7 km from Jorhat town, jointly used by the Air Force. The terminal is compact and processes arrivals quickly. Taxis to the town centre take around 15–20 minutes. From Jorhat, the scenic Majuli ferry crossing (≈ 20 km to Neamati Ghat) takes about an hour, and the ferry voyage itself is 1–1.5 hours. For Kaziranga National Park, road travel of ≈ 80 km via NH-715 takes approximately 2 hours. Jorhat is also the base for Sivasagar, Assam's former Ahom capital, located ≈ 55 km east.
This is a domestic Indian route and requires no visa or passport for Indian citizens. A valid government-issued photo ID — Aadhaar, voter ID, PAN card, or driving licence — is sufficient. Note that parts of Assam fall under Protected Area Permits (PAP) or Restricted Area Permits (RAP) for foreign nationals, though Indian nationals face no such restriction on routine leisure travel to Jorhat. DigiYatra is available at Mumbai's T2 terminal for paperless biometric boarding. If your trip involves visiting certain tribal or border areas in Arunachal Pradesh nearby, foreign travellers would need an Inner Line Permit — not applicable for standard Jorhat visits by Indian citizens.
The ideal time to fly to Jorhat is November through March, when the weather is cool (8°C–25°C), tea gardens are lush, and Kaziranga National Park is fully open for one-horned rhino safaris. April and May bring pre-monsoon heat (30–35°C) but the teas are in their second flush — a delight for connoisseurs who can arrange estate visits. The monsoon (June–September) brings heavy rainfall and Kaziranga floods significantly, closing safari zones. Majuli island is best visited between October and February when the river level recedes and Vaishnavite monasteries (satras) host cultural events.
No. As of June 2026, all flights are 1-stop, connecting via Kolkata (CCU) or Guwahati (GAU). Total journey time is typically 4–5 hours.

Economy fares typically range from ₹5,500 on budget windows to ₹14,000–₹18,000 during peak season (November–March). Booking 4–6 weeks out usually secures the best price.
Jorhat Airport (JRH) is approximately 80 km from Kaziranga National Park. The drive takes around 2 hours via NH-715, making Jorhat one of the two main airport gateways to Kaziranga.
For Kaziranga and North-East travel, Guwahati (GAU) is often more convenient with a shorter GAU–JRH hop (≈ 45 min). Kolkata (CCU) works for travellers with afternoon BOM departures that align better with CCU–JRH schedules.
September and early October are typically the cheapest months, with economy fares as low as ₹5,500–₹7,500. November onwards, prices rise sharply as wildlife tourism season kicks in.
What you pay on the Mumbai–Jorhat route hinges on timing: book roughly 3–8 weeks ahead, stay flexible on the day of week, and you usually land the better fare. Search Mumbai to Jorhat live to see how today's price compares to dates a month out — the gap is often 25–40 percent across IndiGo, Air India.
Last-minute Mumbai to Jorhat fares move fast, but they're rarely the same across every airline. Run your date through the search above and FlightGPT compares real-time Mumbai Jorhat prices across IndiGo, Air India — so you grab the cheapest seat still open, not the first one you see.
There is currently no non-stop service between Mumbai and Jorhat — itineraries connect via a hub, with a typical journey of ≈ 4h – 5h (1-stop via Kolkata or Guwahati). Comparing hubs side by side often saves 15-30 percent. FlightGPT lets you filter by "Direct only" or compare both side by side — useful when you want the cheapest Mumbai Jorhat ticket but are open to a layover.
Expect Mumbai–Jorhat fares to vary by cabin, baggage and how the fare is bundled. A bare low-cost fare can end up dearer than a full-service IndiGo ticket once you add a bag and a seat. FlightGPT shows the all-in price for each option, so you're comparing like for like rather than misleading lead-in fares.
