Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about booking taxis, Urbania and Tempo Travellers, tours and permits with Poonam Travels.
Which is the best vehicle on rent in Guwahati for a group of 10–13 people?
A Force Urbania 13 Seater is the most comfortable choice — individual reclining seats, roof-duct AC and USB charging at every seat. For a lower budget, a Tempo Traveller 12 Seater carries the same group with push-back seats and a roof carrier.
What is the difference between Force Urbania and Tempo Traveller?
Force Urbania is Force Motors' newer premium van with a car-like monocoque body, individual reclining seats, a smoother ride and per-seat AC vents and USB ports. The Force Tempo Traveller is the proven workhorse — tough, roomy, available in larger 20 and 26 seater versions and more economical per head.
Do you provide Guwahati airport pickup and drop?
Yes. We pick up and drop at Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (GAU) in every vehicle, from a Swift Dzire for two people to a 26 seater Tempo Traveller for large groups. Share your flight number and the driver tracks your arrival.
Which places do you cover from Guwahati?
We run outstation taxis and tours from Guwahati to Shillong, Cherrapunji (Sohra), Dawki, Mawlynnong, Kaziranga, Tezpur, Bhalukpong, Dirang, Bomdila, Tawang and other destinations across Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh.
What is included in your taxi rental quote?
Every quote is shared in writing on WhatsApp and lists exactly what is included — vehicle, driver, fuel, and whether tolls, parking, state permits and driver night charges are part of the price — so there are no surprises later.
How do I book a taxi or Tempo Traveller with Poonam Travels?
Call or WhatsApp +91 98647 56696 with your dates, group size and route. We confirm the vehicle and price, you pay a small advance, and the driver's name and number are shared before your trip.
Do I need a permit to travel to Tawang or Arunachal Pradesh?
Yes. Indian tourists need an Inner Line Permit (ILP), which can be applied for online (eILP), and foreign nationals need a Protected Area Permit (PAP). We guide you through the process when you book an Arunachal trip.

Yes — full-day and half-day Guwahati sightseeing covering Kamakhya Temple, Umananda Island, Basistha Temple, the Brahmaputra riverfront, Assam State Museum and Assam State Zoo.
Are your drivers experienced on hill roads?
Yes. Our drivers regularly drive the Shillong, Cherrapunji, Dawki and Tawang routes and are used to hill and night driving.
Can you book hotels as well?
Yes. We arrange hotels with food and sightseeing, group accommodation and honeymoon stays, matched to your budget.
Do you have vehicles for weddings and corporate events?
Yes. We supply single or multiple Urbanias, Tempo Travellers and cars for weddings, conferences and company outings in Guwahati and beyond.
Is an advance required to confirm a booking?
A small advance confirms your vehicle. The exact amount and balance payment terms are shared with your quote.
Which is the best time to visit Northeast India?
October to April is the most popular season for sightseeing across Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal. Meghalaya's waterfalls are at their best in the monsoon, and Kaziranga safaris usually run from November to April.
