Salt Mines in Pakistan
Most people often ask or think what are the Himalayan pink salt mines? Okay. In short, a Himalayan Pink Salt Mine is a place where the extraction of salt from the underground salt deposits takes place.
Let’s talk about salt mines a bit deeper!

What is a Pink Salt Mine?
Actually, there are different methods of salt production. Evaporation of ‘solution-mined’ produces White salt. Mining the ancient deposits makes a salt mine and gives us the rock salt. Whereas some countries are using the solar energy to evaporate brine produced from seawater.
Although we can discuss the all three methods of salt production, our main concern in this article is to cover and understand the Himalayan pink salt mines where we are extracting the rock salt. So let’s move ahead!
Rock salt mining is much like mining for any other mineral. Typically, the salt exists as deposits in ancient underground sea-beds. The salt we extract from these underground deposits is the rock salt, or in other words the Himalayan pink salt.
How is a Himalayan
Pink Salt Mine Created?
This rock salt is found in domes or veins among layers of sedimentary rock. Extraction of large rocks from such a huge salt deposit creates a salt mine. Let’s move further!
First, we mine the salt found on the ground to get to the underground deposits. Then, we mine the underground salt deposits in a checkerboard pattern. Hence, we leave a portion of the salt, about 35 to 55 percent, in the form of pillars and roof. This pattern offers a structural supports for the mine.
How is Pink Salt
Extracted from a Mine?
This salt mining process is labor-intensive. It begins with cutting a horizontal slot beneath a salt wall. The drilled salt rocks eventually fall beneath the salt wall. Now, we drill the holes into the salty side. Usually, these holes are about 10 feet (about 3 m) or deeper. Then, the miners use hand tools and heavy drills to cut more salt walls. As a result, larger and smaller rocks break and fall onto the floor. Miners gather the mineral; load them onto trucks and/or trains. Trucks and trains take the rocks to the surface of the mine. There, we crush the large rocks into smaller rocks. These smaller rocks are then sieved through several screens and stored for packaging and shipping.
Khewra Salt Mines
Now, there are many mines in the world where we are extracting rock salt. But, the one we are discussing here on this page is the Himalayan pink salt mine in Pakistan. The Himalayan mines range from Khewra salt mines to Kalabagh, Gola, and Quaidabad salt mines. And, these few large salt mines make a group of mines that we usually mention as Himalayan salt mines. Moreover, the salt obtained from these Himalayan salt mines is most suitable for turning into Himalayan salt lamps, salt tiles, salt bricks, and many other salt products!
Uses of Himalayan Pink Salt
Since the Himalayan salt is the purest and cleanest salt on the earth, so it is the most beneficial, too. It has all kinds of nutritional and therapeutic properties, not to mention culinary uses. You can use it as a healthier option for processed salt. You can also use it to create homemade body scrubs and bath soaks, and you may have seen or owned a Himalayan salt lamp made from pink Himalayan salt. إMoreover, history tells us that the people of the Himalayas have used this versatile salt to preserve meat and fish.
