Khimsar India
The quaint little village of Khimsar was once a small kingdom established by a scion of the house of Jodhpur. It is situated around 92 km away from Jodhpur and is one of the most interesting sites in Rajasthan. The Khimsar village is also an excellent starting point for anyone interested in exploring the Nagaur region.
The Khimsar Fort is perched on the edge of the vast Thar Desert of Rajasthan and is the most important attraction of this rustic sire. It was constructed around the beginning of the 16th century. At that point of time, it was basically a military structure, full of turrets, fort walls and stables. A Zenanakhana or ladies residence was constructed in the mid-18th century after which the royal family moved to the fort. The fort was subsequently converted into a hotel that is often rated as one of the best heritage hotels in India.
The Sacchiyamata Temple is located in Osian about 27 km away from Khimsar. The temple is in a dilapidated state but nevertheless is one of the most important attractions of Osian.
