Perched on
the edge of the Great Thar Desert in the heart of rural
India, the unique fort at Khimsar offers a wide range of
experiences. The battle - scarred walls and turrets
remind of the glorious past. The royal family moved in
the mid-18th century, and a new "zenana" or ladies'
residence was built with finely carved windows in stone
grills to provide "purdah" or veil for
ladies-in-waiting. In the 1940s, Thakur Onkar Singh
built a regal wing for himself. Today, the Khimsar Fort
ranks amongst the premier classified heritage hotels of
India.
