Majuli district, River island district in Upper Assam, India

The Brahmaputra River and its tributaries form Majuli district, stretching across 1250 square kilometers of land in northeastern India.

In the 15th century, saint-reformer Srimanta Sankardeva established Majuli as a center for Neo-Vaishnavism, founding numerous monasteries across the district.

The district maintains several Satras, traditional monasteries that preserve Assamese performing arts through regular demonstrations of music, dance, and theater.

Ferries from Jorhat provide access to Majuli between October and March, while local transportation includes bicycle rentals and cycle rickshaws.

Every winter, the district transforms into a natural observatory as numerous migratory birds arrive, creating opportunities for wildlife photography and observation.
