RideHard1. Fly & Ride: Seamless Airport Pickup at LGBI Borjhar (GAU)
Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (GAU), situated at Borjhar approximately 25 km west of central Guwahati, is the primary aviation portal for tourists entering Northeast India. When flying in for a holiday to Meghalaya, Kaziranga, or Arunachal Pradesh, navigating through city center traffic to rent a bike wastes hours of valuable exploration time.
RideHard’s Guwahati Airport Bike Rental Service bridges this gap with precision. Our airport flight desk tracks incoming domestic and international flights in real time. The moment you retrieve your checked baggage and exit the arrival terminal doors, our operations team delivers your fully fueled, comprehensively inspected motorcycle or scooter directly at the airport passenger parking bay.
2. The Strategic Advantage: Bypass City Traffic Directly onto the Highways
Guwahati city center (Paltan Bazar, GS Road, and Ganeshguri) frequently experiences intense peak-hour traffic bottlenecks. Starting your journey directly from Borjhar Airport offers unmatched road trip benefits:
- Direct Route to Meghalaya (Shillong & Cherrapunji): From Borjhar, merge onto the VIP Airport Road -> Azara -> Jalukbari flyover -> NH27 bypass -> Khanapara -> NH6 (Guwahati-Shillong Highway). You bypass all downtown congestion in just 25 minutes.
- Direct Route to Western Assam & Bhutan Border: Head west along NH17 toward Goalpara or north toward Barpeta and Manas National Park without navigating inner Guwahati.
- Direct Route to Arunachal & Upper Assam: Connect smoothly from Jalukbari across the Saraighat Bridge toward Baihata Chariali and NH15 for Bhalukpong and Tawang.
3. Expedition-Ready Fleet Delivered at Borjhar Terminal

Paperwork is verified digitally in advance, ensuring you hit the open highway in under 5 minutes from exiting the arrivals gate.
