The Salt Range (Punjabi: سلسلہ کوہ نمک) is a mountain range in the north of Punjab[1] province of Pakistan, deriving its name from its extensive deposits of rock salt.[1][2] The range extends along the south of the Potohar Plateau and the north of the Jhelum River. The Salt Range contains the great mines of Khewra, Kalabagh and Warcha which yield vast supplies of salt.[1] Coal of a medium quality is also found.[1] The Salt Range starts from the Bakralla and Tilla Jogian ridges in the east and extends to the west of River Jhelum.[3]
In the Himalayan and Salt Range, rock containing fossil of marine life go back to the Ediacaran period (up to 570 million years ago), which shows these rocks have developed out of sea sediments, and that where we have the Himalayas now was once a sea.[4]
Sakaser is the highest peak of Salt Range.
Namal Lake, Khabikki Lake and Uchhali Lake are lakes in the Salt Range.
