When Does it Snow in Kaghan Valley?
Snowfall in Kaghan Valley typically begins at higher elevations (Babusar Top, Lulusar Lake) in late October. By mid-November to December, deep winter settles across Batakundi and Naran, blanketing the valley in several feet of pristine powder.
For travelers seeking fresh snow and accessible roads, late April through May offers towering roadside snow walls (often 10 to 20 feet high near Batakundi and Jalkhand) as snow plows clear the highway for the summer season.
Winter Road Status & Safe Travel
During the peak winter months (January to March), the highway above Balakot or Kaghan town may experience seasonal closures due to heavy snow. The highway re-opens in late spring as glaciers are cleared by the National Highway Authority (NHA).
During the shoulder snow months of May and October/November, travelers can witness dazzling snowscapes with comfortable vehicle access.
