Salt Range
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Salt Range is a hill system in the Punjab province of Pakistan, deriving its name from its extensive deposits of rock salt. The range extends from the Jhelum River to the Indus, across the northern portion of the Punjab province. The Salt Range contains the great mines of Mayo, Khewra, Warcha and Kalabagh, which yield vast supplies of salt. Coal of a medium quality is also found.
- Sakaser and Tilla Jogian are the highest peaks of Salt Range.
- Khabikki Lake and Uchhali Lake are the lakes of Salt Range.
