About
Babusar Pass, also called Babusar Top, stands at an elevation of 4,173 metres and links the Kaghan Valley and Naran with Chilas in Diamer District. It marks the boundary between Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan. Before the Karakoram Highway opened in 1978, this rough track was the only road reaching Gilgit town from the south. Today it remains a scenic alternative route into Gilgit-Baltistan during summer, with views of high peaks, green valleys, and, on clear days, glimpses of Nanga Parbat. The road from Lulusar Lake to the top winds through open alpine slopes and is a favourite among road-trippers and photographers.
