Airlines flying Srinagar to Guwahati
No airline operates a non-stop Srinagar–Guwahati service. IndiGo offers the best connection matrix through Delhi, with the SXR–DEL leg at ≈ 1h 40m and DEL–GAU at ≈ 2h 40m. Air India connects both segments and can issue a single itinerary. Kolkata (CCU) is a secondary hub option for afternoon schedules. SpiceJet serves the Delhi–Guwahati sector with competitive fares for budget-conscious travellers.
Cheapest time to fly and book
Guwahati-bound demand rises during Bihu festivals (April and January) and the Kaziranga rhino-viewing season (November–April). Kashmir departures peak in summer (May–August). The monsoon overlap in June–July depresses fares on both ends somewhat, though Assam's heavy rains may complicate ground travel. Booking ≈ 3–6 weeks ahead is ideal. Midweek flights are consistently cheaper than weekend options on this corridor.
Flight duration and routing
Via Delhi, expect SXR → DEL (≈ 1h 40m) plus DEL → GAU (≈ 2h 40m), totalling ≈ 5.5–6.5h with a standard layover. Kolkata connections run slightly longer at ≈ 6–7.5h. Delhi provides the tightest connections. This route essentially crosses northern India from one mountainous frontier to the other, but since both legs are well-served, the journey is straightforward despite the distance.
Baggage and fares
