How the salt mine was discovered is interesting – by Alexander the Great’s horses!
It is said that when Alexander the Great visited the sub-continent and when the army stopped at the area for rest, the horses started licking the stones and when one of the soldiers tasted the rock stone, it was salty thus leading to the discovery of the mine.
While the salt lake in Bolivia is most fascinating, this salt mine is impressive.
