Tips to Get the Best Exchange Rate in Guwahati
Find South-East Asian Currency in GS Road

Go to Ganeshguri, Christian Basti, and ABC along GS Road as they maintain higher cash stocks of these currencies. This will allow you to get wholesale rates.
Avoid the GAU Counters
Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (GAU) in Borjhar is located nearly 20 km outside the main commercial centre, where airport kiosks charge steep 10%-15% markups. You can exchange cash notes or load multi-currency prepaid cards beforehand.
Pre-Book to Avoid Surge
Students across Assam and neighbouring Northeastern states travel abroad during peak periods for intake preparation in July–September and November–January. If you need CAD, GBP, and USD, lock in rates online 10 to 14 days in advance.
Dispur and Suburban Areas
If you live in Dispur, Khanapara, Six Mile, Maligaon, or Jalukbari, avoid heavy traffic on GS Road by using digital forex platforms. You can find authorised online forex providers that conduct electronic KYC. They will deliver both forex and travel cards directly to your home or office address across Guwahati.
