Majuli in April
Assam, India
Go in April to catch Rongali Bihu and satra traditions, but expect heat above 30°C and scattered rainfall that can disrupt boat schedules.
Peak crowds
April is one of Majuli's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. Raas Leela festival (Nov) is spectacular but book accommodation weeks ahead. Monsoon floods the island — do NOT visit Jun-Sep.
April brings Rongali Bihu to Majuli — Bihu dance performances at satras and villages. Cultural peak.
The April story
