Salt Range

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 lakes in the Salt Range.

Famous quotes containing the words salt and/or range:

    ... the darkness,
    Inviting to this house
    Air from a field, air from a salt grave ...
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    We must continually remind students in the classroom that expression of different opinions and dissenting ideas affirms the intellectual process. We should forcefully explain that our role is not to teach them to think as we do but rather to teach them, by example, the importance of taking a stance that is rooted in rigorous engagement with the full range of ideas about a topic.
    bell hooks (b. 1955)
