If you are looking at going to Majuli, you should plan it between Oct to feb, other wise its hot over there, plus monsoon time you should avoid.
Water level at Majuli rises during monsoon, many land areas at Majuli come under under water. If you are a tourist you should look at avoiding your travel to Majuli during monsoon time.
Over the years land area of Majuli is going down because of constant soil erosion. Government and other authorities are trying to save Majuli as a heritage. It had a area of 880 sq km at the beginning of 20th century, now its 352 sq. km as of 2014.
Do share your experience about Majuli, i will look foward to hear back from you in this regard.
Thanks, harish bali
