What a beautiful place and ghat it is! Rani Holkar palace is so pretty and situated on this ghat! The palace is partially converted to royal hotel where you will find beautiful rooms and royal experience. The Ghat have a lot of importance in hindu mythology as here Lord Maheshwar is situated. It's a very old lord shiva mandir. It's just that there is no proper route to walk and reach here. Old and handicapped people will struggle a lot to reach here.

A beautifully built Fort with rich hindu architecture overlooking the scenic Ghats on the bank of River Narmada which is indisputably a perfect delight for every photographer . The place is so tranquil that it will drain you from all your worries and you may sit there for hours or remain there to stay for many days . A perfect place for those who love meditation . The place was built by Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar , she is one of the rarest ladies in the history of the world who has so many buildings , dams and roads to her credit . Many films have been shot at this place as the ghats have striking resemblance to the ghats of Banaras.

Narmada ghat - Beautiful place for pics and well maintained fort. You will be surrounded by people with camera asking to take pics in traditional outfit.. we visited during daytime and the sunrays on Narmada river looked like diamonds floating all over. You can enjoy boating here. The Rajrajeshwar temple is at the ghat and there are a lot of other temples along with samadhi tombs (chattri). Maheshwar fort still holds the rock carvings and the details are eye catching. You can book a guide for the fort visit. Maheshwari sarees are also made here, by the artisans and you an see them making these beautiful sarees, dupattas and clothes. Don't forget to buy them and support these craftswoman. :) It will take 3-4 hours to explore this place, take photos and enjoy with your family. There is not much of climb but it would be difficult for senior citizens to visit fort if they have joint (knee) problems.
