About this experience
Majuli is a huge river island in the Brahmaputra and the heart of the Vaishnav faith started by Srimanta Sankardeva. Its satras keep alive dance, music and the bhaona drama, and Samaguri Satra is known for the masks made for it. Mising villages of stilt houses sit between the rice fields.
We get you on an early ferry from Nimati Ghat near Jorhat, meet you with a car and guide on the island, and visit the main satras, the mask-makers and a Mising village before the last ferry back.
