How To Reach Shyamrai Satra

From Place Name:

GoalparaBy Air: The nearest major airport is Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (GAU) in Guwahati, which is approximately 120-130 KMS away from Goalpara. This airport is well-connected to all major Indian cities like Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Bangalore. From the airport, visitors can hire a direct private taxi (cab services like Uber/Ola are not always available for outstation trips; better to book a local rental) or take a pre-paid taxi to Goalpara. The drive takes about 3 to 4 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions. Regular bus services from Guwahati to Goalpara are also a very economical and frequent option.

By Train: The nearest and most convenient railway station is Goalpara Town Railway Station (GLPT), located only about 5 KMS from the Satra. This station falls under the Northeast Frontier Railway zone and is connected to major rail hubs like Guwahati, Kolkata, and even cities in Bihar and North India. After arriving at the station, the Satra is easily accessible via a short ride in an auto-rickshaw or a local taxi. The New Bongaigaon Railway Station is another major junction nearby, though Goalpara Town is preferred.

By Road (Bus/Car): Goalpara is well-connected by National Highway 17 (NH 17), which connects it to Guwahati and other parts of Assam and West Bengal. Regular and frequent state-run (ASTC) and private bus services run daily from Guwahati and surrounding district towns like Bongaigaon and Dhubri to the Goalpara Inter State Bus Terminal (ISBT). From the bus terminal, the Satra is a very short 5-10 minute auto-rickshaw ride, as it is located practically in the heart of the town.

By Local Transport: Since the Shyamrai Satra is centrally located in Goalpara town, the most common local transport options are auto-rickshaws and cycle rickshaws. These are readily available and can take you to the Satra from any part of the town, including the railway station or bus stand, quickly and affordably.
