1. Guwahati's Strategic Highway Corridor on NH-37 (AH-1)
Lokhra occupies a crucial geographical vantage point along the National Highway 37 bypass (Asian Highway 1) in south-western Guwahati. Home to the massive Interstate Bus Terminal (ISBT), Sarusajai Sports Complex (Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium), and the Hockey Stadium, Lokhra is the bustling transit junction where long-distance interstate travelers and intra-state commercial buses arrive from all seven sister states of the Northeast.
For motorcyclists and tourists, Lokhra is the golden access point to the southern bypass. Picking up a rental motorcycle here allows you to bypass the bottleneck traffic of central Guwahati entirely, stepping directly onto the smooth four-lane highway heading south toward Meghalaya or east toward Kaziranga and Upper Assam.
2. Instant Bike Delivery for Arriving ISBT Bus Travelers
If you are arriving in Guwahati by overnight Volvo or state transport bus at ISBT Lokhra from Silchar, Jorhat, Dibrugarh, Tezpur, or Imphal, RideHard eliminates the hassle of searching for local auto-rickshaws or cabs. We coordinate your exact arrival time and hand over your sanitized, fueled, and fully inspected motorcycle right at the ISBT exit gate.
Mount your rucksack on our custom touring racks, strap on your complimentary ISI-certified helmet, and start your road trip to Shillong (95 km) or Cherrapunji (145 km) within 5 minutes of stepping off your bus.
