    An old train station still exists when you enter and is operational to take salt from Khewra to rest of the country. Motorway has reduced the distance by road and one can now easily come to Khewra by road. We saw some abandoned freight cars, and broken train tracks going nowhere.

    Mine is being mined using methodology developed by Dr. Warth in 1872 where 50% is mined and 50% is left as column. This ensures that mine doesn’t cave in. It is this 50% that is left which creates a beautiful ambiance inside the mine. Salt is transparent, white, pink, reddish to beef-color red. The Geological horizon, which is a gold mine for a geologist, is Pre-Cambrian (4,500 million years ago to 540 million years).

    On various locations one can see salt deposits hanging from the ceiling, and looks as if this is icicles. Brine solution seeping from deep inside the mountains has created huge rock crystals in the shape of small icebergs that could be found inside the mine.
