Jam Gate a Hidden Gem

I always feel sudden  travel discoveries are more beautiful than planned one. Same happened with me when I visited this beautiful view point known as "Jam Gate", situated approximately    30 K.m.   from Mhow. Actually here I should thank M P Tourism's efforts, I came to know about this place from one of their twitter post and as I was travelling in this part I decided to explore this point . 

This place is situated approximately  55 K.m from Indore and most important part of this journey is excellent roads..........which will make your journey much more pleasurable. 

Way to Jam Gate

After approximately of one hour twenty minutes journey a beautiful historic gate welcomed me. This structure is situated on top of the Mhow -Ankaleshwar road. It is said that during old times Ahilya Bai Holkar use to pass this gate. Geographically is the boundary/gateway of Malwa plateau.

Cool breeze and Sun playing hide and seek with clouds made my experience more memorable and only one thing was missing some Chai and yummy food ..........do not worry if you are lucky you may get some options like Pakode , Moong Daal Pakode ( Fried snacks) , Corn and Chai ( Tea).

I had yummy local delicacy 'Moong Daal ke Pakode'.

So If you are passing through this route or staying some where close to this place do plan a Monsoon trip.......
