~5h total flying with one change, via Kolkata / Delhi / Guwahati. Single-ticket bookings protect the connection.

40h+, fly Trains reach Dimapur on the Guwahati–Dibrugarh line.
Trip shape
3–4 days minimum (travel + 2 festival days); 6–7 days if you're adding Dzükou, Khonoma or Kaziranga.

Arrival timing
Pickup batches leave Dimapur at 6:00 AM or 10:30 AM (airport and railway station both). Land by the evening before and we add a night near the station, or land by ~10:00 AM on Day 1 and go straight up the hill. Later than that and you miss the first festival afternoon.
Bengaluru to Dimapur is a one-change hop via Kolkata, Guwahati or Delhi. Book both legs on one ticket so delays are the airline's problem.
