Frequently Asked Questions

Can Kaziranga and the Hornbill Festival be combined?

Yes — it is the most popular combination. Kaziranga sits on the Guwahati–Nagaland highway, so it adds only two nights and no backtracking.

Is Kaziranga open in December?

Yes. The park reopens in late October/November and December offers excellent visibility and comfortable weather for rhino sightings.

Which airport should I fly into?

Guwahati (GAU) for arrival and Dimapur (DMU) for departure. We handle both transfers.
