Frequently asked questions
How far is Khewra Salt Mine from Sialkot?
Approximately 250 km by road, about 4 hours under normal motorway traffic.
Which motorway exit do I use from Sialkot?
Join M-2 near Wazirabad/Kharian, drive south, and exit at Chakwal interchange. Then follow the Chakwal-Khewra road west for 30 km.
Is Sialkot farther from Khewra than Gujranwala?
Yes, slightly. Sialkot adds roughly 20 km because you drive northeast first before turning south on M-2. Gujranwala sits closer to the motorway spine.
