Wonder World Inside the Mountain,PAKISTAN

"The salt mines were discovered around 320 BC by the horse of Alexander the Great. While resting, the horse started to lick some stones. One of the soldiers realized it was salt. The largest salt mines in the world are in Poland, Khewra Salt Mines are the second largest.The mine has approximately 220 million tones of salt deposits. The current production from the mines is 465,000 tons per annum. There are 7 levels above the ground and 12 below, with over 40 km of tunnels.50% of the salt is excavated while 50% is left as pillars to support the mines. Spot checking of the salt reveals 99% pure salt and on average results in 96% pure salt. It is said that this is one of the purest forms of salt available."

"The world second largest Salt Mine is located in khewra, Pakistan and it is the only oldest mine in South Asia. Mine has different colors of salt, beef ,transparent, white, reddish.This palce has historic importance and huge production of salt. In different areas there are several ponds of thick salt .When light reflect on that liquid it produce different colors and that view is amazing. Inside the cave they made replica of MINAR E PAKISTAN with colorful bricks, a beautiful mosque a model of sheesh mahal and of mall road Murree

I always wish to visit Khewra mine and finally the day has arrived when I was there with my family. Some places are worth waiting for. It was a bright sunny day of July, when the weather was too hot but inside the cave temperature is too cold. Its amazing NA. It can be accessed by two routes. One is via Jhelum cant, which is a bit longer route, as here you have to cross many villages and then to reach salt mine. It is half plane and half hilly road. While another route is via Lilia Interchange. From Lila Interchange, Khewra salt min are just at 24 km distance. First Pind Dadan Khan would come into the way and then you have to cross khewra's city main bazar and finally you would found yourself at the foot hills of salt mine. It was an amazing experience. After 1 week again, I visited this palace with my cousins and I didn't bore to see this again. Its really mesmerizing. If you ever visit Jhelum ,must visit this palace. It is really inspiring.
