Nandana Fort, Archaeological fort in Salt Range, Pakistan
The stone walls of Nandana Fort rise 1500 feet above Choa Syedan Shah, with remains of ancient structures spread across 45 kanals.
The fortress, constructed in the 10th century by Hindu Shahid ruler Anand Pal, served as a strategic military point until the 13th century.
The site contains architectural elements from multiple periods, including a Shiva temple, Buddhist stupa, and Islamic mosque, reflecting the region's diverse heritage.
Visitors can reach the fort through a rocky path from Choa Syedan Shah, with the site offering panoramic views of the surrounding Salt Range mountains.
Persian scholar Al-Biruni conducted mathematical measurements to calculate Earth's diameter from this location during his scientific expeditions.
