With the emerging travel trends and growing interest among people to explore more new places across the world, people feel the urge to satisfy themselves by experiencing something unfamiliar and further leaving with quite a lot of memories, skills, as well as knowledge.
Notably, travelling not just allows people to escape their daily lives, but also helps to clear minds and further recharge and replenish themselves. While some travel to meet new people, some also travel to get out of their comfort zone. It also helps in exploring new places, people, and cuisines, as well as learning about different cultures across the world.
However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic which caused a major sector to the tourism industry in the past 2 years, now with the number of infections decreasing globally, tourists are returning with a vengeance and many have been rushing to their favourite destinations.

There are vast rice fields with lustrous green patches which are soothing to one’s eyes. Also, the locals who are quite friendly and welcoming are a plus point for a visit.
Majuli in Assam
Located in Assam, Majuli is the world’s largest river island which is known for its pollution-free and refreshing environment.
