Why Go
Umananda Island, nestled in the middle of the mighty Brahmaputra River, is the smallest inhabited river island in the world. This tiny island, accessible only by ferry from Guwahati, offers a peaceful escape from the city's hustle. The island is home to the ancient Umananda Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, and is also known for its population of golden langurs, a rare and endangered primate species. The ferry ride itself is an experience, offering stunning views of the Brahmaputra and the surrounding hills. Umananda Island is perfect for a half-day trip, combining spirituality, nature, and tranquility.
