Similarly, Babusar Top has been closed to traffic as the region also experienced snowfall and tourists have been instructed to use Karakoram Highway (KKH) as a diversion.
Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted light snowfall in the upper areas, which include Babusar Top and Naran Valley for the next few days.
In addition, the country’s northern regions are undergoing massive weather changes as the Hazara division was struck by severe rains with thunderstorms, which turned its weather into icy cold.
