Question 1

What is the price of an Umrah package from Guwahati?

Accepted Answer

Umrah packages from Guwahati start from approximately ₹92,000 per person for economy options, including a connecting flight via Kolkata and onward to Jeddah, 3-star accommodation in Makkah and Madinah, shared transfers, and Saudi Umrah visa. Premium 5-star packages start from ₹2,58,000. Since GAU has no direct Jeddah service, all Guwahati packages route via Kolkata or Delhi — the Kolkata routing is typically more cost-effective and quicker for North-East pilgrims.

Question 2

What is the best routing from Guwahati to Jeddah for Umrah?

Accepted Answer

The most popular and efficient routing for Guwahati pilgrims is via Kolkata (CCU) — approximately 1 hour from GAU — followed by a direct Jeddah flight on Air India, IndiGo, or Saudi Arabian Airlines, for a total journey of approximately 7–8 hours. Kolkata is geographically closer to Assam and flights are well-priced. Delhi (DEL) is also available and offers more airline options, but adds approximately 30–45 minutes to the total journey time. We compare both and recommend the best option at your travel dates.

Question 3

Do you serve pilgrims from Nagaon, Dhubri, Barpeta, and other Assam districts via Guwahati?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Guwahati's airport (GAU) is the primary Umrah departure gateway for the entire North-East India region. Pilgrims from Nagaon (140 km), Barpeta (120 km), Dhubri (250 km), Morigaon (80 km), and Kamrup rural areas all travel to GAU for their international departure. We coordinate with local travel agents in Assam's Muslim-majority districts and can arrange group transfers from interior areas to GAU for community Umrah groups.

Question 4

Do pilgrims from Tripura, Manipur, and Meghalaya also use Guwahati for Umrah?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Guwahati serves as the regional Umrah hub not only for Assam but also for Muslim pilgrims from Tripura, Manipur, and Meghalaya, all of which have smaller airports with more limited connectivity. Pilgrims from Agartala (Tripura) may fly directly to Kolkata and then to Jeddah without stopping in Guwahati. Those from Imphal (Manipur) and Shillong (Meghalaya) often transit through GAU due to better onward connections. We provide tailored packages for pilgrims from across the North-East with flexible routing options.

Question 5

What is the best time for Umrah from Guwahati?

Accepted Answer

October through February is the optimal period for Umrah from Guwahati — Makkah temperatures are comfortable (18–26°C) and this avoids Assam's monsoon season (June–September), which brings heavy rains and occasional flight disruptions. North-East India's winter (November–February) is pleasant for travel. Ramadan Umrah (typically March–April) is spiritually meaningful for Assam's Muslim community and requires 4–5 months advance booking. We strongly advise booking the GAU–Kolkata leg well in advance as seats fill quickly from North-East India's pilgrims.
