We spend a wonderful day - the guide spoke English well, was very nice, talkative and attentive. He explained us a lot about the sights and Pakistan in general. We travelled in a comfortable car with an air conditioning. The food was good, even tought we are vegeterian. Kherwa Salt Mine was impressive - it's second biggest salt mine in the world and it looks very beautiful from the inside. Kata Raj Temple was also interesting.
