The arrival of the season’s first snowfall at Babusar Top, a popular destination in Kaghan Valley, was a source of joy for visitors. A delicate, one-inch layer of snow covered the area, creating a stunning winter landscape that captivated everyone present.
Meanwhile, the same weather system responsible for the snowfall at Babusar Top also brought heavy rainfall to Balakot and the Kaghan Valley, causing significant disruptions. The intense rain led to the flooding of Manor Nullah, which affected the Mahandri Bazaar and brought traffic to a halt. As a result, the Kaghan Highway had to be temporarily closed, making travel challenging for many.
In light of the adverse weather conditions, a forecast has been issued by the Meteorological Department, predicting continued rainfall over the next two days. Travelers are being advised to avoid unnecessary journeys and to exercise caution if travel is essential. This guidance serves as a crucial reminder of the unpredictable nature of mountain weather and the need to prioritize safety.
Although the early snowfall at Babusar Top was a picturesque sight, it also highlighted the rapid changes in weather that can occur in such regions. Both tourists and locals are urged to stay updated on weather conditions and to place safety above sightseeing during this time.
With the rain continuing, authorities are closely monitoring the situation to reduce further disruptions and ensure everyone’s safety.
