Hotels In Khimsar(Jodhpur ) 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.
