    A quick 30 minute boat hop gets you to Umananda, but the temple itself is small and crowds start arriving around noon. If you’re short on time, head straight to Peacock House first there you can snap photos of the colorful birds and see the local village layout. Then, if you have a bit left, take a short walk around the island’s main path to catch a sunset over the Brahmaputra. Starting before 10 am keeps the river calmer and gives you a better bird watching window.
