💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in government-approved homestays and village guesthouses instead of hotels to save 40-50% on accommodation while enjoying authentic Assamese hospitality and home-cooked meals
📅 October to March is the ideal time to visit Majuli when the weather is cool and dry, with temperatures ranging from 10-25°C, making it perfect for exploring the Sattras and outdoor activities. Avoid the monsoon season from June to September when heavy rainfall causes flooding and makes island accessibility challenging.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to visit Majuli as it is within India. Simply carry a valid Indian ID proof like Aadhaar, PAN, or passport for domestic travel.
