About Majuli
Majuli, the world's largest river island, nestled in the Brahmaputra River in Assam, is a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. It's a haven for those seeking tranquility and an immersive experience into the neo-Vaishnavite culture of Assam. The island is characterized by its lush green landscapes, vibrant tribal villages, and numerous 'satras' (monasteries) that serve as centers for religious and cultural practices. Majuli offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, with its slow pace and serene environment. However, due to erosion, the island's size is gradually decreasing, making it a must-visit destination for those wanting to witness its beauty before it changes further.
