HOTEL KHIMSAR
FORT
Perched
on the edge of the Great Thar Desert in the heart of rural India,
the unique fort at Khimsar offers a wide range of experiences. The
fort was built by Rao Karamsiji, the 8th son of the
Jodhpur founder, Rao Jodha, who moved to this region and founded the
royal dynasty at Khimsar.
The construction of
the fort began in 1523 AD in the fairytale land of majestic forts
and palaces. The fort's battle-scarred walls and turrets are a
tell-tale reminder of Khimsar's  glorious
past. In mid 18th century, the royal family moved in and
a new 'zenana' (ladies' wing) was built with finely carved windows
in stone grills to provide 'purdah' or veil for ladies-in-waiting.
Subsequently, Thakur Onkar Singh built for himself a regal wing.
In 1997-98, the
Khimsar Fort was awarded the Grand Heritage classification by the
Department of Tourism, Government of India. A section of the fort
still remains the residence of the royal family of Khimsar.
