Majuli, the world's largest river island in Assam, India, offers a unique cultural and spiritual experience, primarily accessible by ferry from Jorhat. While solo exploration by rented scooter or bicycle is popular, engaging a local guide is highly recommended to fully appreciate the Vaishnavite Sattras, local Mishing culture, and traditional crafts like mask-making and pottery. The ideal time to visit is from October to March, avoiding the monsoon season (June-September) due to potential flooding and difficult travel conditions. Majuli is generally a budget-friendly destination, with typical visit durations ranging from 2 to 3 days to immerse in its serene environment and cultural richness. Visitors should expect a focus on ecotourism, homestays, and a simpler way of life, with limited modern amenities.
