What is Babusar Pass?
'''Babusar Pass''' is {{convert|13690|ft|abbr=on}} above sea level. It connects [[Gilgit]] with Kaghan via Chilas. Prior to construction of Karakoram highway, this route was very important, because this was the only route leading to Gilgit and Baltistan from [[Pakistan]]. Presently a road by the name of Mansehra-Naran-Jalkhad-Chilas [[MNJC]]road is being constructed through Babusar Pass that will shorten the distance between Mansehra and [[Chilas]] by around {{convert|145|km|abbr=on}}. Work on the route is expected to conclude sometime in mid 2011. {{multistub|Geo|Asia}} [[Category:Mountain passes of Pakistan]]
