Traveling from Chillas to Islamabd

Sorry, what are you saying? Are you saying it is guaranteed safe via Babusar Pass?

i am really confused at the moment which way i would choose if i miss my flight to Skardu (probability is high).... i will have very limited time and do not want to waste on kkh (

Hi Adeel, your original query was "I want to know if someone have travelled from Chilas to Islamabad via Babusar Pass. The path will surely be more beautiful as compared to KKH. I am curious to know how much time does it take..? more or less than KKH? is it safe enough? and is it open in late August?"

I'm not surprised that you are now confused. I flew back from a 4-week trip to Gilgit Baltistan last week and I'm confused too and very glad to be safely back in UK. After recent tourist deaths in GB, I doubt if anyone can tell you what conditions on KKH will be like in late August 2013.

KKH is always subject to closures, partly because of landslides and partly because of security concerns + need to travel in armed convoys. As far as I know, Babusar Pass is also subject to the same problems.

Good luck with your trip.

That's interesting indeed,thanks for sharing.

thanks for the article.

Babusar pass is not allowed for foreigners after the tragic incident in the west BC of Nanga Parbat,though KKH is open for foreigners but you 'll have to wait & travel on convoy if you re traveling by public transport,you can drive on (with out waiting) if you have your own transport.
