Train track in the beginning of mines....
And train arrived....people trying to come out but the ones about to enter mines are not allowing them...some "dhakum pail"
In the tunnel...you can see some reinforcements at week points...
It feels something like this...pic taken from trolley like train....very rough ride ..back breaking.
Salt rocks...some water leaked and dried resulting in the white coloured portion.
Another pic taken from train......salt everywhere...
A pic of the roof....
Another pic of roof...note different colours of salt..
Something very marvelous and first thing we see after getting off the train is this beautiful mosque which is very old and made from salt bricks...yes pure salt bricks..
Our guide telling us details about mosque..
Another view of mosque from a different angle....
And final view of the mosque under the mountains of salt..
This small mountain is made from leaking water of rains into the mines dissolving salt in it and then drying over a period of time..
These designs are made in the same way....
These sculptures are made in the same way....
A closer look.....Its amazing to see natural salt in so many colours and formations.
Another one.....
Then came a model of MINAR-E-PAKISTAN made from salt bricks...,something very amazing..
Another view....notice that salt roof is high here to accommodate this big model....
Next came these salt water tanks made in the mines...this is basically "kalmi shora"..water is being collected here for years and years..see the beautiful colours of salt on the roof...
