4 Days Naran, Babusar Top & Lulusar Tour
4 days / 3 nightsIslamabad – Balakot – Naran – Saif-ul-Malook – Lulusar – Babusar Top – Shogran – IslamabadMax 20 peopleLate June to September (Babusar dependent)EasyMax altitude 4,173 m at Babusar Top
Naran plus the day that makes the trip — Babusar Top and Lulusar Lake.
Overview
The fourth day is what separates this from the standard Naran trip, and it is the day people remember: up past Batakundi and Jalkhad to Lulusar Lake, then the climb to Babusar Top at 4,173 m with Nanga Parbat visible on a clear morning.
Everything from the three-day trip is still here — Saif-ul-Malook, Shogran, the Kunhar valley. You just get the top of the pass as well.
One seasonal warning worth reading. Babusar opens with the snowmelt, usually in late June, and closes again in September. The exact date is decided by the snow. We confirm the status before every departure and we will tell you honestly if your dates are marginal.

- Lulusar Lake, the source of the Kunhar

Frequently asked questions
When does Babusar Top open?
Usually late June, occasionally early July, and it closes with the first serious snow in September or October. The snow decides, not the calendar. We check the status before every departure.
What happens if Babusar is closed on my date?
We run the day to Lulusar Lake instead and add a longer evening at Siri Paye, and we tell you before you travel rather than on the morning.
How is 4,173 m going to feel?
Most people notice the thin air and nothing more, because you are only at the top for an hour. We carry oxygen. It is cold and windy up there at any time of year.
Can I continue to Hunza over Babusar?
Yes, and in season it is the nicer route. Ask us about the Naran–Babusar–Hunza combination; it saves hours over the Chilas road.
Is 4 days better than 3?
For the same destination, almost always. The extra cost is small and Babusar is the day people talk about afterwards.
