Babusar Pass

Babusar Pass

Babusar Pass which is also known as Babusar Top is a located near the Karakoram Highway. It

is a mountain pass that connects the Kaghan valley with Chilas. This amazing mountain pass

enables cars to easily access the Kaghan Valley.

The mountain pass is at an elevation of 4173 meters or 13,691 feet. The road from Naran to the

Babusar Pass is open from July to about mid-September when the monsoon season begins.

During this season movement across the pass is restricted until the following spring.

The Babusar Pass is 80 km from Naran. The beauty of the pass is beyond words. To right of the

pass one can see the beautiful snow covered peaks of Kashmir, to the north one can see the

magnificent Nanga Parbat.

The road itself is nothing but rock and dirt that treacherous and must be driven with caution.

Only four wheel drive vehicles can cross Babusar pass. The sides of the road are covered

slopes of grass. With beautiful flowers blooming during the summer season. With no trees it is

essential that travelers pack food.
