Hello Viewers, we hope you enjoyed our last video about Khunjerab pass. Today’s, video is also about one of the high altitude places of Pakistan, the Babusar Top.
Babusar Pass or Babusar Top’s heighted 13,691 feet, is a mountain pass at the north of the 150 km long Kaghan Valley, connecting it with the Chilas on the Karakoram Highway (KKH). It is the highest point in the Kaghan Valley that can be easily accessed by cars. Babusar Pass connects Gilgit Baltistan with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.
The Kaghan Valley is at its best during summer (i.e. from May to September). In May the maximum temperature is 11 C and the minimum temperature is 3 C. From the middle of July up to the end of September the road beyond Naran is open right up to Babusar top. However, movement is restricted during the monsoon and winter seasons. The Kaghan area can be reached by road via the towns of Balakot, Abbottabad and Mansehra.
The mountain ranges which enter Mansehra district from Kashmir are the offshoots of the great Himalayan system. In Kaghan valley the mountain system is the highest of the area including the Babusar top. This range flanks the right bank of the Kunhar, contains a peak Malika Parbat of over 17,000 feet, the highest in the district. On the mountains the grasslands are also found where Gujars and other nomads migrate during summer for grazing their sheep, goats and other cattle.
On the northern side there are mountains which are the extension of the same mountain system as that of Kaghan Mountains. This range diverges from the eastern side at Musa-ka-Musalla a peak 13,378 feet high. Here also, like Kaghan, thick forests are found especially on the higher slopes. Due to extensive exploitation, the thick forests are found only in unapproachable areas.
Chilas is a little town situated in the Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan is across the left side of river Indus. It is part of this Silk Road linked with the Karakoram Highway that connects it to Islamabad from the south via Dassu, Besham, Battagram, Mansehra, Abbottabad, Haripur, along with Hasan Abdal. From the northwest, Chilas is close on the Chinese cities of Tashghan and Kashgar through Gilgit, Aliabad, Sust, along with the Khunjerab Pass.
