Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

I had a spare day before returning home to Australia. I chose the Khewra salt mine for a day trip after reading their website which clearly displayed all general information including fares. The motorway was excellent the local road in was one degree off horrific however the salt mine experience was wonderful.

Foreigners will be charged 20 USD for entrance fee which is too much overpriced for the experience inside, especially when compared with the visit to the largest salt mine in Krakow. The road from the motorway to the mine is also under renovation making it not worth the time to make a detour. Better skip unless you really have nothing else to do.

Our experience in this place has been not good due to the bad trip and unservice destination.
We came from Gujrat and we found two hours of driving in horrible streets with mud, big holes and too much water.
Government should provide safe streets for the tourists who want visit the salt mine but nothing is still done in this way.
At destination we visited the salt mine paying a ticket.
The salt mine is small, nothing special, just nice. The main problems are the bad services in the place.
Very dirty and smelly toilets and a restaurant unacceptable with dirty tables, filthy chairs and greasy dishes!
Nice are the souvenirs made with salt, lamps with colored lights at a good price.

They are charging an exorbitant fee of Rs.600/-. Such a shameful act. Government should take action against them.

What a fantastic place to visit. The mine stretches for miles into the mountain and walking around in there is an amazing experience. It can be a bit chilly, bring a jacket.

Overall, it was cool. But if only do it as a side trip if you are traveling between Lahore and Islamabad. It’s a bit far from either place to make it worth the trip and cost.
- Tip #1 - Go early. Get there just at 9am and you will almost have the place to yourself - especially on the weekends. Go after that, and it will feel a bit claustrophobic.
- Tip #2 - Pack the Dramamine. The road to get there once you leave the M2 is mostly unpaved with plenty of potholes for you, your driver, or your tour bus to avoid by moving from one side of the road to the other. Your tailbone will get a workout, too. It’s about 45 minutes of the trip. Read the rest of the review to see if it’s worth it.
- Tip #3 - Bargain with your toddlers. It’s all underground and pretty much one salt brick sculpture after another. Little ones will get bored easily. They won’t get the history or the salt mining process. However, there is a playground/amusement park there for them to really enjoy including a bouncy-house, some kiddie rides and a place to get some sweets. Make sure they know there is an end to the underground tour and you might not suffer as much.
- Tip #4 - Bring a high-powered flashlight if you have it. You won’t need it to see where to move on the tour, but it’s really handy to see into some of the caverns and inaccessible areas. You can also use it to highlight the colors in the translucent light.
- Tip #5 - Leave your heels at home. While you won’t be crawling on your knees, the ground is a bit lumpy and uneven. My guess is people who are very unsteady or are in wheelchairs would have a bit of a hard time - but it could be done.
- Tip #6 - Take the train. It’s only 200 PKR more (about $1.40 US) and there is nothing to see on the way into the mine, so you aren’t missing anything. Good for the kids, too. The train ride is a bit noisy, so if you or your children dislike loud noises, bring earplugs for that part of the trip.
- Tip #7 - Be prepared for sticker shock. The price for foreigners is 20 bucks a piece (slightly less for seniors and students). But, heck, it’s the 2nd largest salt mine in the world, so it might be worth it. Call it a “bucket list” item.
- Tip #8 - Don’t buy into the hype. There is no evidence to indicate that a Himalayan salt lamp does anything for you except look cool. 98% of the salt mined here is made of good ol’ NaCl - sodium chloride- table salt. The other 2 percent is postassium, magnesium, etc. So any benefits people believe they get from it - joints, asthma, etc. - is purely psychosomatic. It does look cool, though. My wife and I dropped a few bucks on a couple of lamps. Which brings me to . . .
- Tip #9 - if you want to buy a lamp, use your shopping skills and shop between the vendors that are about 250 meters outside the main gate. We got a big 10.7kg monster for about 10 bucks - and the guy originally told me it would be no less than 20. This was for the natural shape stone and not one that was ground into a heart shape or the first letter of your true love’s name. We didn’t buy the bulb (but could have) because we are going to make a solar powered lamp to put inside it and use it as a night light.
- Tip #10 - watch for the salt drips. If you are going to buy a hunk of the stuff (it’s not really from the Himalayas, mind you) then consider where you will put it and how to protect the furniture underneath it. Salt attracts and holds condensation and it will drip down and onto your furniture. Of course, you can make the stain part of the decoration.

It takes about 4 hrs to get from Lahore to the Salt mines. The motor way is excellent but the road to the salt mines is in a bad shape. We paid for 4 persons about rs 2200 entrance fees and train ride, The cost for foreign tourist will be much more.
We advise that visitors take the train ride into the mine since it is over a km walk inside. The DC electric train must be over 100 yrs old and is an experience by itself.
You get off the train and the local guide takes you along the mine where different caverns, Ponds, Salt sculptures visible. The walk may be about a km and then we get back to the train to go back to the surface.
There is a restaurant at the entrance and a lot of shops selling souvenirs made out of salt.
Overall an interesting trip but can be made much better by better management

Khewara salt mines are second largest mines in the world. Very interesting place, perfect for family picnic and there are few more attraction near by such as kila katas and kalar kahar.

Why do Pakistani keep crowding the interest with useless blogs and writing web pages and you can't contact anyone in case you are interested? It is like Pakistani haven't got the hang of selling their own products. We would like to visit the Salt Cave but who will help us book a hotel. I would like to stay in the cave. There is no way to book the trip to stay at the cave or buy anything.

Since you are inside the mine which is cooler than ambient, time is not important. we visited at midday but perhaps morning would be better. Also try to go and see the temple which nearby

Mr. Ashar S, not sure, because of the standing orders of the government to keep all tourist attractions closed to all tourists. However, I suppose the head office of Pakistan Mineral Development Corporation may have the up to date info. I hope the following number may be correct... +92-51-9265123/4. Can't confirm as it is Sunday. May be contacted on working days, during working hours.. again, I hope.
The number was picked up from their webpage...
Hope, could help a little bit...
