Merbil is an island and a remarkable biodiversity hot spot. We took our students with the objectives of knowing the biodiversity of that place and know more about the importance of ecosystem.
Students were guided by Sri. Monimanik Gogoi Sir (Founder president of Sasoni Merbil Eco-tourism project) with the historical background and availability of flora and fauna in that project. He also appealed our students and all the members to protect and love environment. He also took us to a short tracking inside the forest and made us familiar with different medicinal plants and herbs.

We sighted Purple Swamp-hen , Grey-headed Swamp-hen, cattle egret, Black Drongo, Common Darter hi, It is the home for migratory birds in winter season and habitat for variety of aquatic birds.
