Getting to Sivasagar

Usually the biggest line in the budget — and the one the estimate above leaves out.

cab · 1.5h

₹1,800

1 way / person

Guwahati → Simaluguri

train · 8h

₹450

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Guwahati → Simaluguri by train. Return for two works out to about ₹1,800 — so a whole trip lands near ₹6,197 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Sivasagar's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
