    The boat to Umananda Temple takes about 30 minutes each way, so you can fit it into a short window. If you start early, the river is calmer and you’ll see more birds before the crowds arrive. After visiting the temple you can stroll the island’s main paths, spot the local villages, and catch a sunset over the Brahmaputra. If you’re pressed for time, skip the temple and focus on the wildlife trails and the iconic Peacock House; it still gives a good taste of the island’s culture.
