The district administration in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Naran has issued a travel advisory for Babusar Top, urging tourists, travellers and transport operators to avoid unnecessary travel as persistent snowfall continues to create hazardous road conditions and disrupt traffic along the mountain route.

The advisory, issued through official media platforms, warned that ongoing snowfall across the region is expected to cause serious difficulties for travellers.

Authorities advised all visitors to check the latest weather conditions before planning any journey towards Babusar Top, stressing that conditions can deteriorate rapidly.

According to the administration, continuous snow accumulation has significantly affected traffic flow on the Babusar Top route and adjoining areas, with some stretches currently limited to one-way movement only.

Officials cautioned that travelling on the route after 6pm becomes particularly dangerous due to intensified snowfall and sharply reduced visibility.

The advisory further highlighted multiple risks facing motorists, including icy road surfaces, possible mechanical brake failures, glacial activity, rockfalls and potential landslides, all of which pose serious threats to life and property.

The district administration appealed to tourists, transport operators and the general public to refrain from non-essential travel until further notice and to strictly follow instructions issued by local authorities and law enforcement agencies.
