One of the most exciting thing you could do on a trip to Assam would be visiting Majuli, the only island district of India, located in the mighty Brahmaputra river.
Covering an area of 475 sq km makes it the largest river island in Asia.
The Satra monasteries of Majuli are a treasure trove of Vaishnavite culture based on the great saint, poet, litterateur and social reformer Srimanta Shankardeva and Madhavdeva’s ideologies. The island is about 350 kms East of Guwahati and was formed due to change in course by the river Brahmaputra.

How to reach Majuli?
Nearest airports to reach Majuli are Rowriah (Jorhat), Lilabari (Lakhimpur), and Mohanbari (Dibrugarh).
Majuli can be reached from Lakhimpur via Dhakuakhana and from Dibrugarh via Bogibeel Bridge. Bus services are also available from Lakhimpur, Dhemaji, and Dibrugarh, with night bus services available from Guwahati to Majuli.
As travelers embark on a journey from Jorhat, they must traverse the majestic River Brahmaputra via ferry at Nimati Ghat. Their destination awaits on the other side, at Kamalabari Ghat and Afalamukh Ghat in Majuli. To ensure a smooth and timely passage, it is highly recommended to make a prior booking for both passengers and vehicles through the inland water transport department's website https://asiwt.in
During the festival season, ferries operate every half hour between Nimati Ghat in Jorhat and Kamalabari Ghat and Afalamukh Ghat in Majuli, and vice versa from 7.30 am to 3.30 pm.
