Tourist Information and Accommodations
Jorhat is well connected by air, with daily flights from Guwahati, and four flights a week from Calcutta. From Guwahati, Jorhat is a seven-hour bus ride. Buses leave early mornings and at nights. One can take the bus or a hired taxi to the Nimati Steamer Ghat from where ferry services ply.
Passenger ferries from Nimatighat depart at 10.30am and 3pm, returning at 7.15am and 2pm. Buses meet the arriving ferries and then drive to Garamur via Kamalabari, where three-wheelers are easier to rent.
Majuli does not have a developed infrastructure for tourism. There are no hotels. Some satras have guestrooms. If you write in advance, they would certainly be available. The Satras that have such facilities and can deal with visitors easily are Natun Kamalabari, Uttar Kamalabari, Auniati (where monks are keen to show their museum of Ahom royal artefacts), Bhogpur and Dakhinpat. The first two are walking distance from Kamalabari. The second two are slightly further afield (about six kilometers away), and Dakhinpath is at one end of the island. In case you wish to go to Dakhinpath, there is a ferry from Neemati direct to Dakhinpath as well.
In addition to the Satra facilities, there are Inspection Bungalows at some points on the island (the one at Kamalabari is well located), and a Circuit House at Garamur, which is the sub-divisional headquarters. For the Inspection Bunglows and Circuit House, you could write to the Sub-Divisional Officer, Garamur, Majuli, Assam.
There are twenty-one Satras on the island - several of them still very active in the tradition and training of dance, drama, music, art and craft. One can hire a boat and cruise down the river in the early morning, bird-watching; and also visit fields and homes to see the cultivation and weaving.
