Discover the Mystique of the Desert at Khimsar
Set amidst the shimmering sands of the Thar Desert, the village of Khimsar in Rajasthan is a timeless escape from modern chaos. Remote yet mesmerizing, Khimsar exudes a quiet charm, offering visitors a taste of authentic desert life with a touch of regal elegance.
At the heart of the village lies the magnificent Khimsar Fort, built in the 15th century by the House of Jodhpur. With its stately courtyards, historic ramparts, and period architecture, the fort is now a heritage hotel that blends royalty with rustic charm. The fort narrates stories of valour, lineage, and Rajasthani tradition, transporting you back in time.
What makes Khimsar truly mystical is its secluded location—accessible only by jeep, camel, or horseback, enhancing its allure. A visit to the nearby blackbuck reserve, a camel ride through the countryside, and the chance to gaze at billions of stars under a pristine desert sky make this an unforgettable retreat.
While you're in the region, explore nearby gems like the Umaid Bhavan Palace, Sardar Samand Lake Palace, and the historic Nagaur Fort to complete your desert experience.
