Khaba is a beautiful isolated village not too far from the city of Jaisalmer. It is an excursion worth making although it hasn’t become very popular with the tourists as yet. The village is almost entirely deserted but you will find parts of it are still inhabited.

The fort is glorious and beautiful. There is also a fascinating museum of Geology in the same place. The village life and the magnificent fort stand in stark contrast. It may be in ruin but still holds a lot if importance. The place is hence also interesting for someone who wants to study the culture of Rajasthan.

You can also opt to camp here and you will find several tents and hotels in the surrounding areas if you want to explore the village a bit more.
