Atal Bihari Vajpayee Regional Park 🇮🇳

Located in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Regional Park (commonly known as Regional Park Indore) is an 80-acre outdoor destination developed by the Indore Development Authority and opened in 2003. Named after the former Prime Minister of India, the park features a massive 42-acre lake alongside 38 acres of curated land attractions. You can explore a tranquil canal that winds through the entire park from one side of the pond to the other, where mist fountains and canal bridges create a deeply peaceful physical and mental atmosphere.

Water lovers can take to the lake with paddle boats, speedboats, or small cruisers, each offering different ride rates. A major highlight is the Malwa Queen, a two-deck mini cruiser that stands as the first of its kind in the state. Capable of accommodating around 80 people, it houses a restaurant and private party rooms.

Beyond the water, you will discover a bio-diversity garden, elegant French gardens, an artists' village, an amphitheatre, and a Lake-view Point. Visitors can also enjoy the musical fountain, jumping jet fountains, and a fast food zone for snacks.
