It is a fossil [[Sea salt|marine salt]] which was formed more than 200 million years ago during the [[Secondary era]]. For many years, salt has been the principal source of income for people living in those remote regions. Because food preserved in salt retains its nutritional properties for several months, Himalayan people use it to keep fish and meat all year long. They also use it as a currency in trading. For centuries, once a year in springtime, the Himalayan people have been transporting the salt to the [[Nepalese]] valleys for trade. Heavily burdened [[yak]]s carry the salt, traveling along narrow sloping paths, often these paths have been carved in cliffs. Once they have arrived at their destination, the salt is traded for [[cereals]], which are the [[staple diet]] for these Himalayan salt traders. |
