Khimsar Tourism - Rajasthan

Khimsar is a small desert town in the heart of Rajasthan, 90 Km away from Jodhpur on the main Jodhpur-Bikaner highway. Rugged landscape, miles of desert and a majestic fort add to the rustic charm of Khimsar. The Khimsar Fort is perched on the edge of the Thar Desert and was built in the16^th century by Rao Karamsi. Originally used for military purposes only, the royal family set up residence within in the 18^th century. Today, the fort is partly occupied by Thakur Onkar Singh, the 17^th direct descendant of Rao Karamsi. One section of the fort and palace has been converted into a premier heritage hotel. The town sits at the junction of Jodhpur and Bikaner and could be used as a base to explore these destinations.
