While watching the Buddha Statue from a distance is charming enough, a boat ride to check it out up close is far more exciting. Telangana Tourism has several boating services including motorboat, parasailing, pontoon boat, jet ski. These are budget rides and cost you anywhere between INR 100-350 per head, depending on your choice. If you and your BFF want to explore this slow, the mechanised boat priced at INR 55 per head is your best bet. And they start at Lumbini Park, so you can cross the park off your list too.
