Getting to Majuli

Usually the biggest line in the budget — and the one the estimate above leaves out.

Guwahati → Jorhat

flight · 45m

₹3,500

1 way / person

Jorhat → Nimati Ferry Ghat

bus · 30m

₹50

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Jorhat → Nimati Ferry Ghat by bus. Return for two works out to about ₹200 — so a whole trip lands near ₹3,100 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Majuli's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
