Question 1

Which airport do Assam pilgrims use for Umrah travel?

Accepted Answer

Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport Guwahati (GAU) is Assam's main departure point, with connecting flights to Jeddah via Kolkata (CCU) or Delhi (DEL). Flight time from Guwahati to Delhi is approximately 2.5 hours, from where direct Jeddah services operate on Air India and IndiGo. Pilgrims from Silchar in Cachar district may find Kolkata more convenient.

Question 2

What is the cost of an Umrah package from Assam?

Accepted Answer

Economy Umrah packages from Guwahati (GAU) start from approximately ₹92,000 per person, including Saudi visa, domestic Guwahati to Delhi or Kolkata connection, return international flights, Makkah and Madinah hotel accommodation, and all transfers. The additional domestic leg adds some cost compared to pilgrims departing from major hub cities. Premium 5-star packages near Masjid al-Haram start from ₹1,85,000.

Question 3

Can pilgrims from Dhubri, Barpeta, and lower Assam book Umrah packages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We serve pilgrims from all Assam districts including Dhubri, Barpeta, South Salmara, Morigaon, Nagaon, Goalpara, Cachar, Kamrup, and Darrang. Lower Assam pilgrims from districts like Dhubri can travel to Guwahati by bus or train in approximately 4–6 hours. We advise on the best travel route to Guwahati and recommend accommodation near the airport for pre-departure stays.

Question 4

What is the total travel time from Assam to Jeddah for Umrah?

Accepted Answer

The total journey from Guwahati to Jeddah typically takes 12–14 hours including the domestic connection via Delhi or Kolkata. The Guwahati–Delhi flight is approximately 2.5 hours, and Delhi–Jeddah non-stop is approximately 6 hours. Layover time at Delhi adds to the total. We schedule itineraries to minimise layover time and select the most efficient routings available.

Question 5

What is the best time for Umrah from Assam?

Accepted Answer

November through February is ideal for Assam pilgrims — temperatures in Saudi Arabia are at their most comfortable, and flight prices are generally lower than during Ramadan. Ramadan Umrah is highly sought after in Assam's Muslim community, particularly in the districts of Dhubri and Barpeta where religious observance is strong. Book Ramadan packages at least 5 months in advance. Post-Eid al-Fitr months of May and June also see modest travel.
