Guwahati’s hotels split into two main zones: the budget and bazaar cluster around Paltan Bazaar and the railway station, and the upscale business corridor along GS Road and Khanapara toward the airport. Rates swing hard with the season, peaking in January and during Ambubachi Mela in late June. See our weather by month guide for more.
