Pokaran

Which name should a plan use for Pokaran?

Quick answer

Pokaran, in Jaisalmer: a fort town on the Jaisalmer road, with a castle and, nearby, a restricted nuclear-test range Summer noon on this road is dangerous. See the town fort if it is open. Leave the range alone. Jaisalmer’s living fort is the main visit.

Detailed answer

A plan for Pokaran has to start from the journey, not from a wish list. See the town fort if it is open. Leave the range alone. Jaisalmer’s living fort is the main visit. It earns a night if it is the point of the day. A photo stop between two cities wastes it. The mistake this note names is specific: looking for a public nuclear tourist centre
