Quick summary
- The driving distance from Multan to Khewra Salt Mine is approximately 350 km along motorways and local roads. That is nearly double the distance from Lahore because you cross most of central Punjab before reaching the Salt Range.
- Khewra sits in Jhelum District , west of Chakwal city. Multan is in southern Punjab, so plan for a full day of driving each way unless you fly to Islamabad or Lahore first.
- Summer heat on M-4 and M-4 toll plazas slows rest stops. Carry water and schedule breaks at Khanewal, Abdul Hakeem, and Kallar Kahar service areas.
