At the
centre, a water body in an 8 km circumference, the seven
dunes of 'Akla'. At the heart of this oasis of sixty
acres, adjoining the lake, is the WelcomHeritage Khimsar
Sand Dunes Village.
This village is a mere 6 km away from the WelcomHeritage
Khimsar Fort (built in 1523 by Rao Karamsji, founder of
the line of Karamsot Rathors) and is accessible by jeep,
camel but once there, all that is evident to the naked
eye is only rolling sand dunes in every direction.
The location of this remote and rural village, facing
the water body, ensures total tranquillity and peace
with perhaps
nothing but the sound of the shifting sands wafting on
the desert winds, occasionally interrupted by the ducks,
geese and wild birds that flock to the water body.
The savage beauty of the desert is constantly before
you, be it in the harshness of the day, or as the glow
of sunset envelopes the entire desert in orange hues or
underneath a brilliant starlit night.

The village comprises a cluster of 16 huts, fashioned in the
style of local village hutments known as 'dhanis', with a 17ft
thatched grass dome. These spacious 300 sq ft huts are finished
in a rustic style with mud plastered walls and furnished with
heavy wood with iron strapping furniture. Each has an
independent courtyard ensuring full privacy. There are open air
showers with running hot and cold water. Solar power has been
extensively used in this eco-friendly village. |

is on the edge of the Thar desert and subject to
the extremes of the desert climes. This village,
