If you plan to travel north this summer, here is some good news. After six months, the National Highway Administration and the Kaghan Development Agency reopened the Babusar Top to tourists.
Frontier Works cleared the glaciers and snow from the road and reopened it to traffic. After that, the travel time from Mansehra to Gilgit-Baltistan was reduced by five hours.
Due to snowfall, the pass is closed in winter. During this period, traffic was diverted to the Karakoram Expressway.
