An Excellent Tour & Guide. - As we know, after every hard climb, there is a beautiful view. Our trip from Lahore for Salt Mines & Katas Raj Temples was arranged by Maqbool Ahmad. He is very knowledgeable & professional. Everything from start to end was excellent. Only the road from Motorway to Salt Mine was under construction that he already had told to us . The tour is highly recommended!!!

Excellent Day Out - We Lahori friends made a plan to visit Salt Mines & Katas Raj Temples in Chakwal near Kalar Kahar. It was a fantastic, completely absorbing tour. Well worth the entrance fee and tour guide. The history of Salt Mines is so interesting. Our tour guide Maqbool was excellent, sharing his knowledge and history of the Salt Mines and Katas Raj over the centuries. He engaged with the crowd making it a fun experience. This tour and tour guide plus driver Hakim all are strongly recommended!!!

One Day Tour From Lahore - If you are in Lahore or Islamabad you should go to see the discovery of Salt Mines by the horses of Alexander the great in 326 BC. Now a days they are using for mining the scientific method of room and pillars. The entrance ticket for the foreigner is USD$20/head and if you want to use train then there are separate charges. The temperature in mine is in between 17°C to 18°C. This one day tour of Salt Mines & Katas Raj Temples highly recommended! The road from National highway to mine is not good but Salt Mines & Katas Raj Temples are worth seeing. PGT is highly recommended, our tour guide Mr. Maqbool & driver Hafeez were awesome. Strongly recommended!!!
