The Jam Gate is a picnic spot in Maheshwar Tehsil of Khargone District in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. It is on Mhow-Mandleshwar Road. It was built by Rani Ahilyabai Holkar in 1791. It is approximately 30 km from Mhow, 50 km from Indore, 33 km from Maheshwar and 75 km from district headquarter Khargone. Jam Gate 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.

जाम दरवाजा भारत के मध्य प्रदेश राज्य के खरगोन जिले की महेश्वर तहसील में विंध्याचल पर्वतमाला पर स्थित एक पर्यटक स्थल है। यह महू-मंडलेश्वर रोड पर है। यह महू से लगभग 30 किमी, इंदौर से 50 किमी, महेश्वर से 33 किमी और जिला मुख्यालय खरगोन से 75 किमी दूर है। जाम दरवाजा मालवा-निमाड़ का प्रवेश द्वार है। विशाल ऐतिहासिक दरवाजा बना हुआ है जिसका निर्माण अहिल्याबाई होलकर ने 1791 में कराया था। गांव के नाम से ही इस दरवाजे का नाम जाम दरवाजा रखा गया।[1] अहिल्याबाई होलकर इस मार्ग का उपयोग महेश्वर से इंदौर जाने के लिए करती थीं महेश्वर और इंदौर आने जाने वाले सबसे कम दुरी के रास्ते के बीच में पहाड़ी के मुहाने पर यह गेट इस तरह बनाया गया था कि रास्ते के दोनों तरफ नजर रखी जा सके इतिहास में इस दरवाज़े का खास महत्व मिलता है | यहीं से सेनाओं का आना-जाना होता था और इसे एक चेक पॉइंट के तौर पर बनाया गया था | इस दरवाजे पर खड़े होकर सैनिक निमाड़ में पहाड़ी की तराई में होने वाली हलचल पर आसानी से नजर रख सकते थे जाम गेट को निमाड़-मालवा का प्रवेश द्वार भी कहा जाता है। महेश्वर से इंदौर आ रही अहिल्या माता की पालकी यहां जाम घाट पर रात्रि विश्राम के लिए रूकी थी। इस दौरान यहां जाम घाट पर मालवा से निमाड़ के बीच आवाजाही करने वाली बैलगाड़ी व घुड़सवारों से यहां रहने वाला मराठा गणपत राव कर वसूलता था। अहिल्या माता जब यहां रात रूकने पहुंची तो गणपत राव ने जीतना भी कर वसूला था वह सब अहिल्या माता के चरणों में रख दिया व उन्हें इस कर से राजघाट के विकास करने की बात कही। जिस पर अहिल्या माता ने कहा कि यह कर तुम जनहित के लिए वसूलते थे। इसलिए इस कर से राजघाट का नहीं जनहित का काम होगा। जिसके बाद अहिल्या माता ने 17 फरवरी 1791 में भेंट में मिली कर राशि से महू-मंडलेश्वर बार्डर पर जाम दरवाजा का निर्माण करवाया था। इसके बाद जब भी अहिल्या माता इंदौर से महेश्वर जाती थी तो रात्रि विश्राम यहीं किया करती थी। घूमने का परिवेशीय समय घूमने का परिवेशीय समय आमतौर पर सुबह के समय होता है, जब पूरे क्षेत्र में कोहरा छाया रहता है। सूर्योदय के समय यहां रहस्यमयी दृश्यों का अनुभव हो सकता है। लोग न्यूनतम टिकट खरीदकर भी गेट पर चढ़ सकते हैं। यह मध्य प्रदेश का सबसे सुंदर जगह है। परिवहन निकटतम हवाई अड्डा इंदौर अंतर्राष्ट्रीय हवाई अड्डा है जो गेट से लगभग 50 किमी की दूरी पर स्थित है। निकटतम रेलवे स्टेशन डॉ. अम्बेडकर नगर रेलवे स्टेशन (MHOW) लगभग 30 किमी की दूरी पर है। शेष दूरी सड़क मार्ग से तय करनी पड़ती है। Jam Darwaza(Gate ) is a tourist spot located on the Vindhyachal mountain range in Maheshwar tehsil of Khargone district in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. It is on Mhow-Mandaleshwar road. It is about 30 km from Mhow, 50 km from Indore, 33 km from Maheshwar and 75 km from the district headquarters Khargone. Jam Darwaza is the gateway to Malwa-Nimar. There is a huge historical door which was built by Ahilyabai Holkar in 1791.This door was named Jam Darwaza after the name of the village.[1] Ahilyabai Holkar used this route to go from Maheshwar to Indore. This gate was built at the mouth of the hill in the middle of the shortest route between Maheshwar and Indore in such a way that an eye could be kept on both sides of the route. This door has special significance. It was from here that the armies used to come and go and it was made as a check point. Standing at this door, soldiers could easily keep an eye on the movements at the foot of the hill in Nimar. Jam Gate is also called the entrance gate of Nimar-Malwa. Ahilya Mata's palanquin coming from Maheshwar to Indore had stopped here at Jam Ghat for night rest. During this time, Maratha Ganpat Rao, who lived here, used to collect tax from the bullock carts and horse riders plying between Malwa and Nimar at Jam Ghat. He placed all that at the feet of Ahilya Mata and told her to use this tax to develop Rajghat. On which Ahalya Mata said that you used to collect this tax for public welfare. Therefore, this tax will serve public interest and not Rajghat. After which, on 17 February 1791, Ahilya Mata got the Jam Darwaza constructed on the Mhow-Mandaleshwar border with the tax money received as a gift. After this, whenever Ahilya Mata used to go from Indore to Maheshwar, she used to stay here for the night.
