A lovely drive of 40 km from Kuldhara takes you to the Khaba Fort. The village looks very much like Kuldhara except for a fort on a hill overlooking the village. The fort offers a breathtaking view of the vast expanse of the village and surrounding areas. It shares the same legend as Kuldhara and is supposedly one of those 84 villages that were abandoned in one night and remain deserted till now. The fort has been revamped and now houses a small museum that has artefacts from the village ruins on display.
