Khimsar Fort - borders the stark and arid Thar Desert, as you are
cocooned within the ramparts of this oasis of comfort with its 11 acres
of lush lawns under the canopy of bright clear skies by day and
brilliant unending stars by night. It was for good cause that it was
awarded the 'Grand Heritage Award for Excellence' by the Ministry of
Tourism, Government of India. Open spaces, courtyards surrounding the
rooms, stone carved exteriors, windows and arches are characteristic of
this fort.
The construction of the fort was begun in 1523 by Rao Karamsji, 8th son
of the founder of Jodhpur Rao Jodha, who chose the spot of Khimsar, 90
km from Jodhpur where one brother resided and 150 km away from Bikaner,
kingdom of another brother.
