The second floating restaurant of Madhya Pradesh and the very first in Indore will start its operation at Pipliyapala Regional Park in the second week of June.
The Regional Manager of the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (MPTDC), AM Jamali told media persons here on Saturday that the cruise boat-cum- floating restaurant will have all the facilities like air-conditioned cabins, comfortable furniture and fixtures, DJ-Orchestra team for entertainment, and a wide variety of menu to choose from.
The boat will be about 22 feet long, and is made of high grade fibre reinforced plastic as per the specifications of the MPTDC. It will have a number of lifebuoys and life jackets too.
The floating restaurant will have a capacity of around 80 passengers along with a boat crew of 15.

The celestial project involving crores will be seen as an exquisite spot in Indore where fun-loving people of the city will not only take a joy ride but will also enjoy mouth-watering delicacies, said AM Jamali.
