Best Time to Visit Guwahati
October to March is what is considered to be Guwahati’s peak season, though depending on the latter end of the window can spill over to April. Temperatures during this stretch typically range between 15C to 30C. The sun then, won’t be raging on your heads and if you’re lucky, a soft breeze will also accompany you as you visit the city’s temples, cut through its riverfronts and stop by the nearby wildlife spots. This window is also wildly popular with tourist crowds because it usually means a serene spell for the Brahmaputra River, making it the perfect temperament for sunset cruises – for which there are a plethora of options. The Kamakhya Temple however, rarely ever sees a dip in crowds. Some pockets of time may be more manageable than others. It goes without saying here that peak season does always mean busier streets and higher hotel tariffs, especially around festivals like Bihu. If you’re someone who prefers quieter, more solitary travel, this might not be your ideal window.
