Frequently asked questions
Quick answers from our team to the questions we hear most about Majuli Island.
- How do I reach Majuli Island?
- By ferry from Nimati Ghat, 14 km from Jorhat. Ferries run multiple times daily and take roughly 1 hour. Vehicles can be ferried across, though most travellers use the local rental network on the island.
- When is the best time to visit Majuli?
- October to March. The Brahmaputra ferry runs more reliably during the dry months. The Raas Mahotsav (mid-November) is the cultural highlight when every satra (monastery) stages traditional Vaishnavite dance-dramas. Monsoon (June to September) brings flooding.
- What is special about Majuli?
- Majuli is the world's largest river island, formed and shaped continuously by the Brahmaputra, and the centre of Assamese Neo-Vaishnavite culture established by Srimanta Sankardev. The island is home to 22 active satras (monasteries) preserving 500-year-old dance, music, and mask-making traditions.
- How many days do I need at Majuli?
- 2 Days / 1 Night covers the major satras, mask-making village, and one Brahmaputra sunset. 3 days lets you cycle the southern villages, attend evening prayers at Kamalabari Satra, and visit the Mishing tribal stilt houses.
- What is the starting price for a Majuli tour?
- Our Majuli tour packages start from ₹3,999 per person on twin-sharing for a 2-day itinerary including ferry transfer, accommodation, and satra visits.
