DIAMER: Intermittent snowfall has continued at popular tourist destinations in Diamer, including Babusar Top, Nanga Parbat and Bhutogah Top. The changing weather has intensified the cold across the district’s upper regions, affecting travel conditions for residents and visitors.
According to police, the Babusar Highway has been temporarily closed to traffic because of heavy snowfall. The closure may cause difficulties for commuters and tourists travelling through the mountainous area. Authorities have advised travellers to remain cautious and avoid unnecessary journeys until conditions improve.
Babusar Top is a popular destination for tourists visiting the northern areas of Pakistan. However, snowfall during colder weather can make mountain roads difficult to navigate. Reduced visibility, slippery surfaces and snow accumulation may also increase travel risks.
Meanwhile, intermittent rainfall has affected Chilas city and nearby areas. The rain has caused a noticeable drop in temperatures, bringing colder conditions across the region. Residents and visitors have been advised to prepare for the changing weather.
The snowfall at Babusar Top and other high-altitude locations has also raised concerns about road accessibility. Heavy snow can disrupt traffic and delay journeys through mountain passes. Travellers heading towards these destinations may need to adjust their plans according to the latest weather and road conditions.
The local administration and relevant departments have urged people to take precautionary measures before travelling through affected areas. Motorists have been advised to check road clearance information and traffic updates before starting their journeys.
Tourists planning to visit Babusar Top should confirm whether the highway has reopened before departure. Travellers should also follow instructions issued by police and local authorities. These measures can help reduce the risk of becoming stranded during severe weather.
The temporary closure highlights the challenges of travelling through mountainous regions during periods of snowfall. Weather conditions can change quickly at higher elevations, making regular updates important for road users.
Residents and visitors in Diamer have been advised to remain alert as rain and snowfall continue intermittently. Authorities are urging travellers to prioritise safety and avoid affected routes until they are considered safe for traffic.
