Let's Explore a beautiful place Khewra Salt Mine Punjab Pakistan.

Khewra Salt Mines

Situated at the foothills of the Salt Range, Khewra Salt Mines are the oldest in the salt mining history of the sub-continent. Salt occurs in the form of an irregular dome like structure. There are seven thick salt seams with cumulative thickness of about 150 meters. At places rock salt is 99% pure. Salt is transparent, white, pink, reddish to beef-color red. In certain horizons it is crystalline. Inside the mine there are beautiful alternate bands of red and white color salt. There are 18 working levels. Cumulative length of all drivages is more than 40 km.

Just to ask you,is it possible to get public transport from the Lahore to khewra?

[TariqMahmood]

@AkmalB Brother thanks for your nice words. Yes it is possible to visit Khewra from Lahore on Public Transport. But whenever you plan to come to visit I invite you to come to me and we will together explore Khewra Salt Mines on motorbike. You just need to take public transport from Lahore to Mirpur AJK. And the rest of the work is my responsibility. Cheers
