Rajasthan's first cruise is likely to start ferrying tourists on Ajmer's Ana Sagar lake in March, adding another attraction to the district famous for the shrine of Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti and Brahma temple. Besides enjoying a ride on the double-decker cruise, people will also be able to host small parties and functions on it. The cruise will have a carrying capacity of 150 passengers.
"The cruise service is likely to start in the first week of March. The work tender was given last year and it will be ready by February. The corporation will get an income of INR 66.5 lakh every year from it," an official of the Ajmer Municipal Corporation said.
The Corporation's Assistant engineer Ravindra Saini said the path of the cruise will be different from that taken by boats ferrying on the lake.
The surrounding area of the lake has been developed with works like pathways, eateries and more which is already witnessing a huge tourist footfall.
"Till now, the work on the first floor of the cruise has been completed. The cruise is likely to be operational in the month of March," the official added.
