In winter when the lake level is boosted by the monsoon it becomes a home to thousands of migratory birds. In 1708 Nimaj was gifted to Thakur Jagram Singh for his loyalty to Maharaja Ajit Singh of Jodhpur. Today during the winter months the descendents of Thakur Chhatra Singh manage the set up of a tented resort where it is possible to enjoy this beautiful lake environment. A visit here during the winter months is a must for bird watchers.Today The Nimaj Palace is a well maintained heritage hotel property and is still managed by the original descendants. A stay at the Palace evokes a feeling of the lifestyle lived by the royal families of the past.
