Day 9 - Khimsar / Nagaur

The action shifted to the fort palace today. The place is at par with Neemrana, probably even a shade better. While the fort was more accessible and luxurious, the memory of the dunes was still lingering…


We took a short day trip to the Nagaur fort. The fort was huge and not neatly restored like the other tourist destinations. It still had the ‘ruins’ feel to it and thoroughly enjoyed just walking about on a lazy winter afternoon. I can bet my bottom dollar that it’s a matter of time before this place is also converted into a tourist trap.


This was actually the last night of the holiday. The next 2 days would be part of the mechanics to reach home. Full marks to Khimsar Fort for creating magic out of regular stuff…The dining room was actually called ‘ruins’ and was created in a partially broken open air dome structure. It was also a refreshing break from the Rajasthani cuisine and enjoyed a well prepared conti meal…

Distance so far – 1887 km
