Brief Description

At the heart of this oasis of sixty acres and adjoining the lake is the WelcomHeritage Khimsar Sand Dunes Village which is a mere 6 km away from the WelcomHeritage Khimsar Fort (built in1523 by Rao Karamsji, founder of the line of Karamsot Rathors) and is accessible by jeep and camel but once you are there all that is evident to the naked eye is rolling sand dunes in every direction. The location of this remote and rural village, facing the water body, ensures total tranquility and peace with perhaps nothing but the sound of the sifting 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.
