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 battle-scarred walls
and turrets remind one of the glorious past. The initial
construction began in 1523 AD, the family moved in
during the 18th century when a new Zenana (ladies wing)
was constructed. Thakur Onkar Singh built a regal wing
for himself in 1940s. Today, the Khimsar Fort ranks high
amongst the premier classified heritage hotels of India.
