Babusar Valley is at an elevation of 4173m at the north of the 150 km long Kaghan Valley connecting it via the Thak Nala with Chilas on the Karakoram Highway (KKH).
The mountain ranges which enter the Mansehra District from Kashmir are the offshoots of the great Himalayan system.
In the Kaghan Valley, the mountain system is the highest of the area including the Babusar Top.
This range flanks the right bank of the Kunhar River, and contains a peak called Malika Parbat, which is over 17,000 feet and is the highest in the district.
From the middle of July up to the end of September the road beyond Naran is open right up to Babusar Pass, however, movement is restricted during the monsoon and winter seasons.
On the mountains the grasslands are also found where Gujars and other nomads migrate during summer for grazing their sheep, goats and other animals.
This range diverges from the eastern side at Musa-ka-Musalla a peak (13,378 feet) (20), which skirt the northern end of the Bhogarmang and Konsh valleys, and sends down a spur to divide the two.
Here also, like Kaghan, thick forests are naturally present, especially on the higher slopes.
Babusar Top was originally known as Babur Top, originating from the fact that the Mughal emperor Babur used to pass through this area in the early 16th century. Nowadays however, it is commonly referred to as Babusar Top.
In May, the maximum temperature reaches 18°C and during the month of January the mercury drops down to -6°C.
