A remote hamlet where sands seem to roll out into eternity
lies in the Khimsar Dunes Village, Rajasthan.,

Most of us are aware of Rajasthan and its several gems like Jaipur and Udaipur. But how many of us actually know about the Khimsar Dunes Village, which embodies the very desert nature of the state. It resides about 15 minutes from the Khimsar Fort. Only accessible by jeep, camel or horseback, this remote hamlet is where the sands seem to roll out into eternity. Resonating the beauty of the Thar Desert, you might come across a mini-lake that springs out of nowhere. But be warned, it might only be a mirage!

What makes this church so special is that it’s partly submerged during the monsoon season. Visitors during the monsoon will need to pay a small fee to be taken by coracle (boat) to the ruins.
