Khimsar

Khimsar

Khimsar is located between Bikaner and Jodhpur in the Nagaur district of Rajasthan. Once an independent kingdom, Khimsar is most famous for its Nagaur fort.  It was constructed by Prince Rao Karamasji, the eighth son of Rao Jodha, the founder of Royal Dynasty of Khimsar, in 1523 with the intention of providing strong defense to the village from invaders.


The walls and the parapets of the 450-year-old structure still stand proudly today as do the finely carved balconies of the Zenana Mahal. Still home to the erstwhile royal family, the Khimsar fort has been converted into a heritage hotel. The royal garage at the Khimsar Fort houses a row of vintage cars and is a must visit.


Khimsar is a convenient stopover between Pushkar and Jaisalmer and the Nagaur Festival (January-February) is a  major attraction for travelers. The Panchala Black Buck Reserve is the other tourist attraction here.
