Majuli, the world's largest inhabited river island, drifts in the Brahmaputra to a rhythm all its own — a soulful centre of Assam's neo-Vaishnavite culture.
The satras
Majuli's monasteries, or satras, keep centuries-old traditions of dance, music and mask-making alive. Samaguri Satra is famous for its intricate handmade masks.
Village life
Cycle between Mishing tribal villages of stilt houses, watch potters at work and enjoy the island's birdlife and serene riverine landscapes.
