Khimsar

Khimsar is a charming desert village in the Nagaur district of Rajasthan (India), halfway between Jodhpur and Nagaur, on the edge of the Thar Desert. 

Khimsar Fort: A 16th-century Rajput fort (built in 1523 by Rao Karamshi, son of Rao Jodha). 
It is now a luxury heritage hotel featuring traditional Rajasthani architecture, royal rooms, suites, and modern facilities such as a swimming pool. 
Khimsar Dunes Village: Adjacent to the fort are sand dunes with luxury tents/huts for an authentic desert experience (camel safari, sunsets, stargazing, folkloric shows, and Rajasthani cuisine).
It is a quiet, off-the-beaten-path destination with a mix of royal heritage, desert adventure, and hospitality. Ideal for a 1-2 day trip from Jodhpur (approx. 95 km). 

In short: a hidden gem for those who want to experience Rajasthan authentically and in a relaxed way, far away from the busy tourist spots.
