The Himalayan salt ranges, one of the world’s most compelling geological sites, are located in northern Pakistan. Stretching across 300 kilo meters from the Jhelum River to the Indus River, and with its highest peak of Mount Sakesar at 1570 meters high, this region is known for its numerous geological aspects, as well as its coveted natural resource of pink Himalayan salt. This presentation aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the Himalayan salt ranges, exploring their history, formation over geologic time periods, and significant geological features in the eastern, central, and western regions.
