FAQs

How do I plan my travel (bus, train or flight)?

To begin your Pobitora Wildlife and Mystical Mayong Tour smoothly, you will need to be in Guwahati city, where our guide and driver will meet you at your hotel or designated pickup point. We strongly recommend arriving in Guwahati a day prior to your tour to rest and avoid any travel delays.

Travespert will arrange transportation for all sightseeing during the day. If you are not already in Guwahati, we can also arrange airport, railway station, or bus terminal transfers upon request.

Getting to Guwahati
