MAJULI ISLAND, PARADISE ON THE BRAHMPUTRA
  
Majuli has been twice nominated as a world heritage site. It resonates with spiritual and cultural heritage, idyllic atmosphere, pollution-free environment, striking flora and fauna, rich fertile soil, and harmonious ethnic life.

In the last 20 years 35 villages have been washed away, and at the current rate of erosion, Majuli could be washed away in the next 20 years.
