Guwahati in April
Assam, India
Go for Rongali Bihu and spring northeast travel; April is peak season, though heat and humidity climb rapidly after mid-month.
Peak crowds
April is one of Guwahati's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. Kamakhya Temple gets extremely crowded during Ambubachi Mela (June). Transit city — most stay 1-2 days.
April brings Rongali Bihu (Assamese New Year, mid-April) — Guwahati's biggest celebration with Bihu dance, feasting, and community events across the city.
The April story
Bihu transforms Guwahati. Open-air Bihu dance performances, traditional feast of pitha and laru sweets, and cultural programs everywhere. If transiting through, time for Bihu week. Book ahead.
