The drive
One of the most hairpinned roads in the world, cresting the 4,173 m Babusar Pass above the clouds with Nanga Parbat on the horizon.
The official road status is the only definitive answer, and it changes fast up high. As a guide: the typical driving season runs June to August, and the pass closes for winter snow outside it. Our road note: Seasonal closure roughly November to June (open only about July to September) The live summit weather on this page helps judge conditions today.
When does the Babusar Pass usually open and close?
In a typical year it is driveable from June to August. Exact dates shift with the snowpack: a heavy winter can push opening weeks later, and early snow can shut it ahead of schedule.
How high is the Babusar Pass?
The summit of the driven road sits at about 4,175 m (13,698 ft), which is why the season is set by snow rather than by the calendar.
