Babusar Top Travel Guide

Pakistan's dramatic mountain pass at 4,173 metres — how to visit, cross, and where to stay the night before.

About Babusar Top

Babusar Top connects Kaghan Valley to Chilas and the Karakoram Highway. Views encompass both valleys on clear days — among Pakistan's most spectacular road viewpoints.

The pass is seasonal and weather-sensitive.

Day Visit vs Full Crossing

Day trippers from Batakundi ascend, photograph, and return. Through-travellers continue to Gilgit — plan fuel, time, and daylight carefully.

Never cross in storms or with failing brakes.
