About Khimsar Fort
Located in the Nagaur district of the Rajasthan, the Khimsar Fort was constructed by Rao Karamsiji (8th son of Rao Jodha, founder of Jodhpur) in the 16th century. Settled comfortably at the edge of Thar desert, between Jodhpur and Bikaner, Khimsar has a quintessential Rajasthani history of war and romance. Stories are rife as to how in earlier days, Khimsar endeavoured, though in vain, to free itself from the fiefdom of the Marwar empire and stabilize itself distinctly. Another story that captivates the imagination of the people is that the last great Mughal Emperor, Aurangzeb, himself paid a visit to this small village on request of a Thakur. However, the authenticity of this claim is highly dubitable.

The fort, that has been converted into a heritage hotel, is still inhabited by the direct descendants of its founder, and that also the 20th one! A ladies wing and a regal wing were added in the 18th and the 20th century respectively. Khimsar Fort has also been awarded the topmost recognition for a heritage property by Tourism Department of India in the form of 'Grand Heritage Award for Excellence'.

Khimsar Fort as a Heritage Hotel
The heritage hotel that is managed by the Welcom Group of Hotels offers a spectacular welcome to its guests with enthusiastic display of fireworks, as they enter its heavily studded gates. Right from here, guests get an inkling of the kind of lavish stay they will enjoy during their vacations.

The best part about the hotel is that it is located far away from the noise of big cities which means that guests have plenty of time to spend with themselves and family in solitude. Also, since the hotel is run by the direct descendants of the royal family and the staff too trace their links to the erstwhile courtiers, the hospitality is at its best. These people know how to treat their guests in a true regal manner and as such extend a warm welcome to everyone.
