Babusar Top Road Reopens After Seven Months, Boosting Tourism Ahead of Eid
The scenic Babusar Top road has officially reopened for traffic after remaining closed for seven months due to heavy snowfall, bringing relief to travelers and a boost for tourism ahead of Eid ul Azha.
According to the Mansehra district administration, all major snow and glacier blockages on the route have been cleared, restoring full traffic flow on the highway.
Key Route Reconnected
The reopening of the road has restored an important land connection between Gilgit-Baltistan and other parts of the country, making travel to northern areas easier and more accessible for tourists.
Babusar Top is a key seasonal route that typically remains closed during winter months due to heavy snowfall and harsh weather conditions.
Tourism and Economic Boost
Officials expect the reopening to significantly boost tourism during the Eid holidays and upcoming summer season, as travelers are now able to use a shorter and more scenic route.
Local businesses and hotel operators in northern areas are also expected to benefit from increased visitor activity following the restoration of the route.
Authorities have advised travelers to remain cautious while driving through mountainous areas and to follow safety guidelines, especially during peak holiday traffic.
