Our FAQ's

Absolutely! Khimsar is a generally safe destination.  However, as with any solo travel, we recommend following basic safety precautions.  Inform your accommodation provider about your arrival and departure times.  Dress modestly in public areas, especially in rural areas.  Four Wheel Drive India can create a personalized itinerary with private guides or small group tours for added peace of mind, allowing you to explore Khimsar comfortably.

Khimsar offers a glimpse into the Bishnoi community's way of life.  Consider a homestay experience in a Bishnoi village to learn about their deep respect for nature and wildlife conservation.  For a cultural immersion, attend a Manganiyar music performance, a traditional Rajasthani art form known for its soulful melodies and captivating string instruments.

Khimsar participates in the vibrant Nagaur Festival (January-February) showcasing Rajasthani culture.  Witness colorful processions, folk music and dance performances, and a display of martial arts.  If your travel dates coincide with this festival, we can incorporate it into your itinerary.  We can also advise on lesser-known festivals or events happening during your visit.

Rajasthani cuisine is known for its rich flavors and aromatic spices.  Sample delicacies like Dal Baati Churma, a lentil dish with stuffed bread and a sweet crumble, or Laal Maas, a fiery lamb curry.  Many hotels offer cooking classes where you can learn to prepare these dishes yourself.  Four Wheel Drive India can arrange visits to local markets or family-run restaurants for an authentic culinary experience.

Khimsar offers a variety of accommodation options.  The most unique experience is undoubtedly staying at the heritage Khimsar Fort, a luxurious hotel within a 16th-century fort.  Alternatively, opt for comfortable guesthouses, heritage hotels in restored Havelis (mansions), or even a homestay experience in a Bishnoi village.  We can help you choose the accommodation that best suits your style and budget.
