Pachpadra Lake
Pachpadra Lake, located near Balotra in Rajasthan, is a vast salt lake known for its high sodium chloride concentration of about 98%, making its salt some of the purest and most sought after in the region. The lake extends over roughly 25 square kilometers and has been a significant center for natural salt production for centuries.
Historically, it played an important role during the Rajput era under the Marwar rulers, who taxed salt extraction, and later remained vital under British colonial control for its quality salt. The surrounding area includes the town of Pachpadra, a tehsil headquarters close to Balotra city, with the lake serving as a natural resource hub and a quiet retreat with striking salt flats visible as glistening white expanses in the desert landscape.
The salt is harvested traditionally using local vegetation such as the morli bush, and the site retains both economic and ecological importance in the arid region of western Rajasthan.
