Have you ever been on a cruise? Maybe, but have you ever been on a cruise that sails in a river? And now the probability dwindles. There is just one other in Varanasi. And what a tourist attraction it is! And now, if things go as planned you might soon get to experience a Ramayana-themed cruise in Ayodhya. Get ready for Ramayan Cruise Tour in Ayodhya
The plan is to operate a cruise boat on the Saryu River with the iconic Guptar Ghat being the starting point. The voyage would be about 7 Kms long and culminate at the Naya Ghat. People on board would get to witness the majestic Saryu aarti from the cruise!
The cruise would be themed in such a way that it depicts life of Ram. You might just feel you are in the aqua version of the Pushpak Vimaan. And that won’t be it. The passengers would be treated with a delicious veg meal –of course, way better than that on airlines.
The progress on the plan is quick. Presentations have already been made to relevant authorities and things might start taking shape any time soon. All set and done, Ayodhya would stand tall as the centre of tourism in India.
