All incoming tourists and travellers are strongly advised to adhere Gilgit-Baltistan travel advisory, which has been issued by the Information Department of Gilgit-Baltistan, following multiple cloudbursts and flash floods that have caused severe destruction across the region.
The advisory has been issued for the tourists’ safety after the tragic Babusar Top incident, where many tourists went missing due to abrupt flash flooding.
According to authorities, more torrential rain and cloudbursts are expected in the coming week, which will increase the risk of floods and landslides. Tourists and travellers are highly recommended to contact local control rooms for updated weather conditions and route safety information.
The police and district administration have set the control centres to assist travellers and thoroughly monitor emergencies for the tourists’ safety.
