Where to Sleep

We do not yet have any sleep-related airport reviews, but it seems this airport closes nightly.  Have a backup plan if you’re planning to spend the night.  For uninterrupted sleep, day rooms are available for transit passengers. Otherwise, head to Silchar city center for hotels, about 30 minutes away. See our Airport Hotels section below for more info or read some traveller airport reviews for more tips.

In this guide we may refer to locations as “landside” and “airside”. Landside is the public area of the terminal located in the non-secure zone, before security. Airside is the secure area of the terminal that you must reach by going through security.

If sleeping in Silchar Airport on a bench does not appeal to you, there are day rooms for transit passengers. Rate: Rs 1500/- (single). If you are looking for a hotel outside of the airport, it is best to head back to Silchar city center (about 30 minutes southwest of the airport), as there are no hotels in or near the airport.

To find a cheap room, there is a list of hotels in Silchar on Tripadvisor that can be sorted by price, distance, traveller rating and popularity.
