If you plan a pilgrimage to Ajmer, now’s the perfect time to add this engaging experience to your trip. You can visit the famous Ajmer Sharif Dargah and enjoy a ride on India’s first electric double-decker cruise, which will take you on a scenic journey across the beautiful Ana Sagar Lake. Here's everything you need to know about this new attraction:
According to reports, the cruise, which was inaugurated on October 4, 2024, can accommodate up to 150 passengers, with 75 people seated on each deck. Onboard, there's a fully equipped kitchen serving various dishes, ranging from continental cuisine to fast food.
What sets this cruise apart is its focus on sustainability. Powered entirely by batteries, the cruise produces zero emissions, making it a green way to explore the beautiful lake. Plans are also in place to add solar panels, reducing environmental impact. The boat has bio-toilets to ensure that Ana Sagar Lake remains unpolluted.
In addition, if you are in the mood for fun while cruising, the upper deck comes alive with music and dancing. Whether you're with family or friends, the upbeat vibe adds to the memorable journey. To ensure the safety of guests, the boat is equipped with CCTV cameras, life jackets and even has a standby rescue boat for emergencies.
Ticket prices are affordable for this luxury experience. According to reports, adults can ride for INR 350, while children’s tickets are priced at INR 250. The entire cruise lasts for around an hour, giving you plenty of time to take in the scenic views of Ajmer from the water.
Besides being known for its picturesque views, Ana Sagar Lake is a historical landmark. The lake was built around the 12th century by Anaji Chauhan, the grandfather of the legendary Prithviraj Chauhan. Over the centuries, it has become a key part of Ajmer's beauty and history. Surrounded by gardens and pavilions built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, the lake offers a peaceful retreat. Now, with the addition of the electric cruise, visitors have a new way to experience the beauty of Ana Sagar Lake while contributing to its conservation.
