Babusar Pass

Babusar Pass or Babusar Region (Urdu: درہ بابوسر) (elevation 4,173 metres or 13,691 feet)[1][2] is a mountain pass in Pakistan at the north of the 150 km (93 miles) long Kaghan Valley, connecting it via the Thak Nala with Chilas on the Karakoram Highway (KKH).

The most common reason for accidents is brake failure of vehicles in this steep landscape due to inexperience.

From mid-July until the end of September, the road north of Naran remains accessible all the way to the Babusar Pass.

This range flanks the right bank of the Kunhar River, and contains a peak called Malika Parbat, which is over 17,000 feet high [5] and the highest in the valley.

This range diverges from the eastern side at Musa ka Musalla, a peak at an elevation of around 13,500 feet, which skirts the north end of the Bhogarmang and Konsh valleys and sends down a spur to divide the two.
