The world's largest inhabited river island in the Brahmaputra (though shrinking due to erosion). Majuli is the heart of Assamese Vaishnava culture — 22 sattras (monasteries) with classical Sattriya dance, mask making, and village life.

Honest take for Jul: Monsoon season — heavy rainfall expected. Good for nature lovers, but outdoor travel can be challenging. (high crowds.)
