About Phalodi Salt Pans
Phalodi has made salt from brine wells for centuries and the pans on the edge of town still work through the dry months, white squares of drying salt with heaps piled at the edges. There is nothing organised about it: you drive out, look, and talk to whoever is working. Best in the cool morning light; it is blinding by midday.
What to see and do
- Working evaporation pans
- Salt heaps and brine wells
- Morning light on the white beds
- Salt workers, if you ask first
