Sikar has emerged as Rajasthan's most visited tourism district in the first half of 2026, recording 1.56 crore tourist visits between January and June. The district's rise has been driven largely by the popularity of Khatu Shyamji, helping it overtake established tourism destinations such as Chittorgarh, Jaisalmer and Ajmer, a TOI report stated.
District-wise tourism data showed that Chittorgarh recorded 1.34 crore visits during the same period, while Jaisalmer registered 1.19 crore. Ajmer received nearly one crore visitors. Sikar's tourist footfall was also higher than the 1.45 crore visits recorded during the corresponding period in 2025, marking an increase of about 7.5%.
