Dine in the middle of Gurupur river at Sultan Battery
MANGALURU: Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, Mangalureans can now have a quiet dinner aboard a `dhow’ in the middle of the Gurupur river.
The dhow, 100 foot-long and 20 foot-wide, can seat 160 to 200 passengers on its two decks. The lower deck is air conditioned. Guests can also enjoy an hour of speed boat cruise on another boat from Sultan Battery to Gurupur Dam, which is about 20km from the starting point. The services will take off on Friday.
This means Sultan Battery, famous for the watch tower constructed by Tipu Sultan in 1784 AD, has another attraction now.
"The Old Port was a little busy plus the fish smell did not help. We used to get around 50 guests per day. Here we expect to do well since the area is serene and devoid of any busy activity which Old Port sees," Charandas V Karkera, a partner in this venture, said recalling his earlier Cruise and Dine venture at Old Port.
Karkera said for Rs 350, guests can enjoy half an hour speedboat ride in the river then go aboard the dhow for dinner. For Rs 500, the speedboat offers a longer ride along the picturesque river. "This will be a unique experience since a majority of people would not have the opportunity to cruise along the river till Gurupur dam," Karkera said.
According to him, the main objective is to promote the coastal city as a tourist destination, especially for people from hinterland.
His future plans include renting out a place at Gurupur Dam area, take guests to the spot, serve dinner and get them back to Sultan Battery.
"It will take time. We will start as soon as we can rent or lease a place or residential premises near the dam area," he added. The diner will open at 5pm and will remain open till 11pm.
