Cicada - Ecotourism

Cicada's ecotourism programs go beyond government norms and regulations. Its environmental initiatives revolve around three basic principles that lay the foundation of an eco-friendly environment - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Solid Waste Management:

The solid waste management system was introduced to ensure reduction and responsible degeneration of wastes.

Responsible plastic and waste disposal:

Cicada maintains its stand on minimal use of plastics. However, a plastic free zone is unrealistic in day to day operations; so such wastes are accumulated and disposed responsibly in areas where they are reused or recycled.

Wastewater Treatment Plant:

At Cicada-Kabini one of the main challenges considering our location on the riverbank was the management of wastewater and how to safeguard the Kabini River and ecosystem from contamination.

Eco-friendly Generators:

The power generators meet the most stringent noise levels specified by the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MOEF).

Bio degradable bin-liners:

The bin-liners used in rooms are eco-friendly made by Earthsoul.

Earthsoul materials biodegrade at a rate similar to pure cellulose (natural waste plant matter). Mater-Bi is not only a degradable plastic, but also a Bioplastic material based on GM-free corn starch, vegetable oils and biodegradable polyesters. Therefore the material is easily biodegradable to water, CO2 and residual organic carbon (compost), leaving no harmful residues

Eco-tourer vehicles:

Cicada safari vehicles are state-of-the-art vehicles designed to offer the safari enthusiast the best comfort and view of the forest.. These diesel vehicles are also low on noise emissions and do not interrupt the jungle calls and vibes.

Recycled Paper:

Cicada uses recycled paper in all its branding communication materials and guest handouts.
