About Us
Himalayan Trading Co. is a family-owned company that has brought Himalayan salt from Pakistan to American homes since 2001. We handle every step ourselves: mining, hand-carving, importing and shipping from our own US warehouses.
Every order is packed with care by our family team. If you have a question, call us or send an email and a real person will answer.
From the Khewra Salt Mine to Your Home
We take fanatical care of our salt, all the way from harvest in the Himalayas to packaging at our Virginia processing center. Our salt is hand-mined from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan's Salt Range. The blocks are selected and hand-carved into lamps, candle holders and cookware, fitted with bases, and shipped to our warehouses in Virginia and California. From there, your order ships straight to your door.
We publish the mine and lab documents behind our salt, so you can see where it comes from. See our certificates.
PURE! Untouched By Modern Pollution
Our salt arrives at your door in its pristine raw and natural form, exactly as it was 250 million years ago. Use it for cooking, a relaxing bath soak, or to bring a warm glow to your home.
Naturally Beautiful Light
Rock salt is translucent, so a bulb inside a carved block glows in warm shades from pale peach to deep amber. No two lamps are the same in shape, color or glow. That warm light, and the fact that each one is one of a kind, is why our customers keep them in their homes for years.

More than 1 million customers and 800+ US retailers have bought from us since 2001. Our customers have left over 4,400 reviews, with an average of 4.7 out of 5 stars. Read our reviews.
