Exciting day trip to historical salt range Islamabad February 28, 2021 Islamabad: The Asian Study Group has organised an exciting day trip to the Salt Range which comprises of two rows of low lying rugged hills that run east to west between the Soan and Jhelum rivers - from the Grand Trunk Road near Jhelum city to the River Indus near Kalabagh. This area is said to record 600 million years of the earth’s history. The name comes from the vast deposits of rock salt exposed and mined at Khewra. The salt was left behind when the sea, which extended over the Indus plains and the Potohar plateau, evaporated 600 million years ago. The rocks and fossils found around the salt range provide a complete record of the history of the Earth. The Salt Range Wetlands Complex comprises of a series of adjacent lakes - Kallar Kahar, Khabbeki, Ucchali, Jhalar and Namal. These lakes provide an important wintering ground for migratory birds and are the core habitat for the endemic Punjab Urial.
