Destination Travel - Khewra Salt Mines
My recent visit to the Punjab made me explore sites which i never came across ! the unseen beauty and views one such site was The Khewra mine of Pakistan.
According to wikipedia Khewra Salt Mines is a salt mine located in Khewra, Jhelum District, Punjab in Pakistan, about 160 kilometres (99 mi) from Islamabad and 260 kilometres (160 mi) from Lahore. It attracts up to 40,000 visitors per year and is the second largest salt mine in the world. Situated in the foothills of the Salt Range, the Khewra Salt Mines are the oldest in the South Asia.
Khewra Salt mines are the 2nd Largest Salt mines in the world.Some of the site seeings and images captured during my visits gave me the real joy and pleasure for life i was stunned to see the abstract art of nature, its un tampered beauty and harmonious pleasure. It was strange yet true that the whole travelling time through the mines were by foot but this didn't effected the breath at all. No matter how long you travel in the mines the Natural salt prevents from making you exhausted and breathless.
Khewra salt mines have there special medical wards where the Asthma patients are treated for their asthma.Patients from all over the world visit khewra mines for treatment and for tourism.
My experience has added great memories to my life and this will give me pleasure that we have such blessings of Allah with us.
