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. ..
