In the evening, we went to the National Camel Breeding Farm and saw the incredible sight of a herd of camels returning back after grazing, with the spectacular desert sunset in the background. Set amid rolling sand dunes, this farm was set up to produce superior strains of camels both for domestic haulage as well as, even today, for military use.

Interestingly, one of the efforts is to breed camels with longer, thicker eyelashes to offer greater protection during sandstorms. I couldn't help wondering that if some genius were able to come out with a capsule which could do the same on humans, many of those false eyelash manufacturers would be out of business!

Although, we did not go, there is a very popular Camel Safari to Gajner and Kolayat which lets you see the rural desert life on the way.

Half Day excursion to Deshnoke for the famous Rat Temple of Goddess Karni Mata. It's probably the only place where rats are revered and you have to be careful that you do not step on them. We were told that they are quite harmless, but the very thought of hundreds of them scurry past you had Sonia jumping up on the nearest chair!
