Itinerary

When you arrive in Jorhat, your guide will greet you and transport you to your Majuli homestay. From Nimati ghat, it will take 45 minutes to drive and 1 hour to take the ferry. During the voyage, take in the magnificent views of the Brahmaputra River. The rest of the day will be free after you get at your destination.

Following breakfast, we will go on an excursion of the island's many Satras. Garmur Satra, Auniati Satra, Natun Samanguri Satra, Uttar Kamalabari Satra, Dakhinpat Satra, and others are well-known satras. Each Satra has a distinct specialty. When you arrive, you will learn about the history of these satras. We'll also show you some of Majuli's famed pottery. Enjoy a great religious drama performed by Vaishnavite satras monks in the evening.

Today, after breakfast, we'll go exploring around Majuli's nearby communities. First, we'll visit Mishing village, where you'll experience daily life activities, traditional houses on stilts, and the creation of traditional clothing such as Rihbi, Gaseng, Seleng Gasor, and so on. Then we'll sample some local delicacies and rice beers. Then we'll go to other communities' villages, such as Deori, Sonowal Kacharis, and so on.
