If you are transiting through the Terminal 2 of the Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati, which appears like an oversized bamboo forest from a distance, the airport itself feels like a destination.
With its striking design inspired by Assam's natural beauty and cultural heritage, the imposing terminal blends modern engineering with traditional craftsmanship.
Guwahati's airport -- gateway to the Northeast -- offers an array
of modern amenities and facilities to passengers, but what makes its new Terminal 2 stand out is its nature-themed architecture -- a sheer delight to the eyes. The design of the terminal -- aptly christened 'The Bamboo Orchids' -- has been inspired by 'kopou phool' and local bamboo of the region. Giant concrete columns clad with a layer of material that lends the airport the nature-themed look, welcome departing passengers as they make their way to the airport for their next destination.
