Quick Answer

The best time to visit Majuli is November, December, January, February. Majuli's low-lying land is dramatically reshaped by the Brahmaputra each year — the June–September monsoon brings flooding and erosion that can disrupt ferries and even wash away land, while the dry, cool months from October to March are the only reliably easy time to explore.
