Open All Year... A beautifully restored, early 16th century fort, perched on the edge of the Great Thar Desert.

Hotel Overview



History

This magnificent fort is literally off the beaten track. Set in the midst of sand dunes, this amazing fort stands as securely as it did over many centuries of battle and strife. 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, fiefdom of another brother. Twenty one generations later, a part of this fort is still residence to the Karamsot Rathor direct lineage while the rest has been opened out to royal Rajput hospitality, personally overseen by the family, on a grand and elegant scale. It was for good cause that it was awarded the 'Grand Heritage Award for Excellence' by the Tourism Board of the Government of India.

Location

Khimsar, roughly in between Jodhpur and Bikaner, is on the edge of the Thar desert and subject to the extremes of the desert climes. The Fort itself though is a green haven that keeps the inhospitable desert at bay.
