Naiduniya Representative, Indore(Indores New Tourist Destination). People of Indore often have a dilemma about where to go during a day off. The conflict also arises from the fact that the younger generation hesitates in visiting historical or religious places and wants to visit big natural places but is unable to do trekking.

So what are you waiting for, you can plan to go to this place on this holiday and enjoy a trip to the natural valleys with your loved ones in this pleasant weather.
The search for peace may be complete
Among the natural sites around the city, very few tourists still know the name of this place. In fact, it is a place where the search for peace can be fulfilled and one can get relief from the hectic pace of life for a while.

Golkheda Dam is a better option for tourists visiting nearby. This is a place where you can enjoy a comfortable journey in your vehicle and if you want, you can also fulfill your hobby of trekking. Here you can enjoy food prepared by the villagers and also enjoy a tiffin party.
50 km from Indore
If we talk about the route here, it is very easy for Indoreans to reach here. From Indore one has to proceed towards Manpur via Rau intersection. After crossing Mhow Bypass on AB Road, a petrol pump comes on the left side. Near this petrol pump, a path will be visible on the left side.
When you go on this route, you will first reach Yashwant Nagar village and after crossing it you will reach Golkheda village. This dam is built near this village. The distance of this dam from the city is about 50 km. The distance from Rau intersection to the dam is 39 km. The distance of this dam from AB Road is five km.
You can also enjoy food prepared by villagers
If you want to have a tiffin party here then you can enjoy that too but if you wish to have food outside then you can still go here. Although there are many food shops in these villages, but if you want to enjoy dal-baati prepared by the villagers, then you can also request for it from the villagers.
If you want to go here with more friends and also want to enjoy the food here, then it would be better to contact the villagers and make arrangements for food and accommodation before going. Apart from this, night camp can also be enjoyed here.
You can go here in every season
Gyandeep Purohit, a tourism enthusiast and member of Rides of Riders Group, says that this is a place which is very much liked by the riders. The reason for this is the road here. Those who are fond of riding Ferrari on smooth roads can also come here and those who want to drive jeep or bike on rough roads can also fulfill their hobby here.
The most special thing about this place is that one can come here from the beginning of the rainy season till the end of winter. The valleys here are attractive and the water is so clear that hours can be spent gazing at its beauty. Right now there is less tourist traffic at this place, hence it is very peaceful here.
Water here is found in Gambhir River
Actually this Golkheda Dam was not built on any river. During the rainy season, the water flowing from the surrounding hills collects in this pond and when the water level rises, the excess water flows out in the form of a rainy river. The water of this rainy river further meets the Gambhir River.
