Ms Tikhanovskaya was forced to go into exile in Lithuania after receiving threats following the disputed vote.
She only stepped in to challenge Mr Lukashenko for the presidency after her husband, a popular blogger, was barred from running and sent to jail.
Ms Tikhanovskaya has repeatedly appealed to the international community to put pressure on Mr Lukashenko so that a democratic transition can be launched by negotiation.
Earlier on Wednesday Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Mr Putin had no plans to meet Ms Tikhanovskaya.
"No contacts are being planned," he said. "Madame Tikhanovskaya is not in Belarus. One can hardly say that she is somehow involved in Belarus's life.
"She is meeting with various heads of state and government who consider Belarus's sitting president illegitimate," he added.
What is happening in Belarus?
Weeks of anti-government demonstrations since the disputed election have seen tens of thousands of protesters on the streets in cities across the country.
Many opposition activists have been beaten up by police and thousands have been arrested during months of unrest. They are demanding the release of all political prisoners and a free and fair re-run of the election. pgslot
Many of Ms Tikhanovskaya's supporters and allies have been detained, on the charge of making public calls to harm the country's security, or forced to leave the country after receiving threats from the authorities.
