Babusar Top (Babusar Pass) is the high saddle between Kaghan Valley and the Indus / Chilas side of the Karakoram Highway — the key mountain day on a Skardu tour by road from Naran. Elevation is about 4,170 m; views run from Lulusar country to the Indus gorges.

Day 2 of the 6-day package crosses Babusar after Batakundi and Lulusar Lake; day 5 recrosses toward Naran. Deluxe quotes continue via Raikot Bridge and Jaglot; Luxury adds Chilas petroglyphs and the Three Mountain Junction. The pass is seasonal — we advise or reroute if it is closed.
