Jam Gate - A Gate to Nowhere but Wonders

Lockdown happened last year and we were all stick inside our homes. It was really hard for travellers like us to stay indoors. But it was necessary as the world and the country as a whole was going through a lot. But as soon as restrictions opened, I ran out of the door , got on my Activa and just went for a trip. It was so refreshing , I felt alive again. Someone has rightly said, Travel fills the soul with memories and all that is left happiness.

Jam Gate was the first location which I explored after the lockdown kind of eased out. It is situated 55 kms from Indore and man it is a magical place ! But first let me reached there. I left all alone for this one as I don't mind solo trips. If I can not manage to find anyone to go with me, then it is Me and my Activa against the world. So I left and I did not know where this place was, so I typed the location on the map and started driving. Music in my ears and cool breeze hitting my face, I drove and drove and drove till the maps ditched me. The route on the map was closed due to some work that started that morning itself. So i turned to the next best alternative. " Bhaiya, ye Jam Gate ka raasta yahin se hain kya ?" People usually are pretty nice and helpful and this was no exception. I finally reached the location after a lot of asking and a lot of bumps. But once I reached there , it was all worth it ! The place , the valley and the views were to die for ! Jam Gate is a monument which comes under the Madhya Pradesh Tourism, is a grand structure build out of white stone and it stands tall at a height of some 700 feet above sea level. It is pretty easy to reach as it is located on the main road and the road leads straight to it. The monument is not that special but the views are the real treasure.

Don't believe me? See for yourself !
