Tulaja Fort (Urdu: تلاجہ قلعہ) is a ruined fort in Soan Valley, Punjab, Pakistan.[1][2][3]
History
[edit]According to local sources, Tulaja Fort was founded five thousand years ago and was then named Til An Ja.[4] The entrance to the fort was located in a cave.[4] Only through the tunnel could the fort be accessed, as it was surrounded by large stones.[4] The area used to receive water from the neighbouring creek.[4]
In October 2021, a team of researchers found that the site is two thousand years old.[5]
It is under the administration of the Tourism Development Corporation of Punjab, a department of the Government of Punjab, Pakistan.[4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
