Guwahati
Temples, mantras, and intricate carvings — Incense and chanting fill the humid evening air
Best time to visit
October to March
Guwahati's climate is characterized by hot and humid summers, with temperatures often soaring during the peak summer months, while the winters are mild and pleasant, with a brief period of coolness during December and January. The city experiences a distinct monsoon season from June to September, bringing heavy rainfall and a respite from the summer heat.
Getting there & around
- Air — Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport. Kamakhya is about 7 km from the city on Nilachal Hill, by road up the hill or on foot.
Before you go
- If you are going for darshan
- do NOT arrive during the three closed days of Ambubachi unless the mela itself is the point. Reopening day is the single most crowded day of the Kamakhya year. And the sanctum is a cave reached by a descending staircase - it is dark
- narrow and slow.
