Good to know
For Solo Travellers questions
Is Majuli really the world's largest river island?
It is widely described as the world's largest river island, and has long held that reputation, but relentless erosion by the Brahmaputra has shrunk it dramatically over the past century, and the land continues to diminish. The scale is still remarkable, and the honest story of its erosion is part of what makes a visit meaningful.
How do I get to Majuli?
Majuli has no bridge, access is by ferry, usually from Nimati Ghat near Jorhat, about 20 km from Jorhat airport. We coordinate the road and ferry legs together and time the crossing so it is smooth and unhurried.
What are the satras?
The satras are neo-Vaishnavite monasteries founded from the 15th to 16th centuries by the saint Srimanta Sankardeva and his followers. They are places of worship, performing-arts academies for Sattriya dance and devotional theatre, and guardians of Assamese cultural identity. Around twenty survive on the island.
