Tūlak

Tulak stands in a narrow valley among the mountains of Ghor. Below its fort the valley opens into a meadow before narrowing again near the village of Qazi Bator. In the early thirteenth century the chronicler Minhaj-i Siraj Juzjani took part in defending the fortress against the Mongols. The fort's mud walls and towers guarded one of the routes through Ghor's high country.
