Heavy snowfall has led to the closure of Naran and nearby tourist destinations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa due to blocked roads. Authorities have advised travelers to avoid Naran, Babusar Top, and other upper areas for safety reasons, as slippery roads pose risks to vehicles.
Alternative tourist spots, including Shogran and Balakot, remain open for visitors to enjoy the cold weather. Police are turning back vehicles at checkpoints and directing tourists to safer destinations. Tourists are encouraged to use the tourism helpline (1422) for travel updates.
