Six inches of snow blanket Upper Kaghan Valley
Naran and its surrounding areas received up to three inches as intermittent rain continued across Mansehra district, the state news agency reported.
More than six inches of snow has accumulated between Baiser and Babusar Top in the Upper Kaghan Valley, and Naran and its surrounding areas have received up to three inches, the Associated Press of Pakistan reported on Thursday.
Intermittent rain continued through the day in the plains and upper parts of Mansehra district while snow fell in the high reaches of the Kaghan, Siran and Konsh valleys, according to the agency's report, which was filed from Kaghan.
The state news agency said the snowfall had added to the winter chill in the valley.
It put the snow depth from Baiser to Babusar Top at more than six inches. The report did not say whether the Babusar road, which carries traffic from the Kaghan Valley over the pass to Chilas, was open, or whether vehicles were being allowed beyond Naran.
Babusar Top, at about 4,170 metres, is the highest point on the road between Kaghan and Chilas, and the pass is the direct link between Mansehra district and Diamer district in Gilgit-Baltistan.
The valley route runs from Mansehra through Balakot and Kawai to Naran before climbing towards the pass. Naran is the main town of the upper valley and the last large settlement on that road.
No casualty figures, damage estimate or statement from the Mansehra district administration on road conditions accompanied the report. The agency gave no snow depth for other points in the Siran and Konsh valleys and did not say whether traffic on the Kaghan road had been affected.
Snow at Babusar and in the upper Kaghan reaches falls in November as the winter season sets in, and the pass route is the first to be affected in Mansehra district.
