Umananda Island

Umananda Island, also called Peacock Island, sits quietly in the middle of the Brahmaputra River. Home to the ancient Umananda Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, it is considered the smallest inhabited river island in the world. A short ferry ride from Guwahati brings you to a tranquil space filled with river views, playful golden langurs, and spiritual calm. It’s perfect for a short, scenic escape combined with devotion and photography.
