About Maa Kamakhya Temple & Umananda Island

Guwahati's sacred hill & river island.

Kamakhya Temple crowns Nilachal Hill above Guwahati and is one of India's most revered Shakti shrines. Down on the Brahmaputra, a short ferry ride reaches Umananda — often called Peacock Island — with its Shiva temple among the trees. We plan darshan timing, ferries and transfers so the day flows easily.
