Babusar Pass or Babusar Top (elevation: 4173 m./13,691
ft.) is a mountain pass at the north of the 150 km. (93
miles) long Kaghan Valley connecting it via the Thak Nala with
the Indus Valley. It is the highest point in Kaghan
Valley.
The Kaghan Valley is at its best during summer
(months ranging from May to September). In May the maximum temperature is 11
C (52 F) and the minimum temperature is 3 C (37 F). From the middle of July
up to the end of September the road beyond Naran is open right up to Babusar Pass. However, movement is restricted
during the monsoon
and winter seasons. The Kaghan area can reached by road via the towns of Balakot, Abbottabad
and Mansehra.
KJTI organises

Pass in July and August
when the weather in this area is most likely to be free from snow. The Eastern Jeep Trek includes tour through Kaghan Valley
