The team arrived at the salt lake factory situated on the outskirts of Sambhar town. We began with a tour of the salt processing factory where we were shown the railway track which runs from the back exterior of the building and continues around the perimeter of the lake.
Our transport had arrived; a light blue petrol driven railway wagon approximately the size of an old English milk float. Started using a piece of rope wrapped around the starter motor, we loaded into the back and front for our tour of the lake. The view was spectacular, a white flat plain of glowing salt crystals as far as the eye could see. As we ventured further away from the factory we saw a greater expanse of dark blue water with bright white shores. Our railway journey lasted approximately 45 minutes and finished with some beautiful scenic pictures by the lake. The incredible view juxtaposed with the traditional old fashioned mode of transport made this a fantastic unique experience. |
