Majuli is 90 kilometres or 55 miles long (east to west) and about 16 kilometres or 9 miles wide (north to south). Thousands of migratory birds flock to its water bodies. Majuli Island has a total of twenty-three communities.
Majuli Island has a population of over 150,000 people, the bulk of whom are tribal people who have moved from other parts of India’s north-east.The river Bramhaputra regularly floods Majuli, causing the island to be flooded.
Majuli is 20 kilometres or 12 miles from Upper Assam’s Jorhat. The Nimati Steamer jetty is accessible by bus or taxi. Ferry services can be accessed from Nimati Streamer Jetty. It takes around three hours to travel this distance. Tourists can take part in tribal people’s vivid cultures and traditions, such as the Ali-ao-lvignag celebration, which takes place in February and March. Tourists can also enjoy the Paal Namm festival in the winter, as well as pottery and mask making, as well as the exceptional craftsmanship of Majuli’s tribal people, and, of course, the island’s stunning scenery.
Social activist Sanjoy Ghosh’s flood, soil erosion, and community-based solution awareness initiative made enemies. His life was also threatened by the militant group ULFA (United Liberation Front of Assam). Sanjoy was kidnapped and murdered afterwards.His body was never found after he was killed. He was thought to have been slain because he revealed a link between contractors, ULFA leaders, and government officials. The assassination of the social activist gained worldwide attention, and the case was handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI).
Later, Assam police shot and killed a feared ULFA militant who was responsible for the assassination of Sanjoy Ghosh in the state of Assam.
