However, in 2025, the year brought some tough challenges, with heavy floods particularly hitting the region hard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Let&#8217;s talk about what went down, focusing on the valleys in Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), and get into the real picture today, including which roads are open for tourists, how the attractions are holding up, and why tours are picking back up. I&#8217;ll keep it easy and clear so anyone can follow along.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_caused_the_Floods_in_the_northern_areas\"><\/span><b>What caused the Floods in the northern areas?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These <a href=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/2025\/09\/11\/floods-in-northern-pakistan\/\">floods<\/a> weren&#8217;t just random bad luck. They kicked off in late June with pre-monsoon rains, but things really ramped up in August when intense downpours, cloudbursts, and melting glaciers caused flash floods and landslides. In <a href=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/tours\/hunza-valley-tour-packages\/10-days-gilgit-hunza-tour\/\"><strong>Gilgit-Baltistan<\/strong><\/a>, places like the <a href=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/tours\/hunza-valley-tour-packages\/hunza-phander-gupis-tour\/\">Ghizer<\/a> district saw a massive glacial lake outburst on August 22, flooding villages and claiming lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over in KPK, valleys such as <a href=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/2025\/08\/02\/swat-tour-itinerary-for-tourist\/\">Swat<\/a>, Buner, and Shangla got slammed, think rivers overflowing, homes washed away, and roads turning into mudslides. By late August, the death toll across Pakistan had climbed past 700, with hundreds injured and thousands displaced. It&#8217;s heartbreaking, and it highlights how climate change is making these events more frequent and fierce, with glaciers melting faster and forests getting thinned out, leaving less natural protection against the water.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_31140\" style=\"width: 1180px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31140\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31140\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/flood-situation-in-pakistan.png\" alt=\"Floods in Northern Pakistan: What Happened, What&#039;s Happening Now, and Why It&#039;s Still a Great Time to Visit - pakistan tour and travel\" width=\"1170\" height=\"789\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/flood-situation-in-pakistan.png 1170w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/flood-situation-in-pakistan-300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/flood-situation-in-pakistan-1024x691.png 1024w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/flood-situation-in-pakistan-768x518.png 768w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/flood-situation-in-pakistan-120x80.png 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-31140\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A woman is moving to a safer place while carrying her belongings through floodwaters.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_parts_are_affected_the_most_by_floods\"><\/span><b>Which parts are affected the most by floods?\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take the Hunza Valley in Gilgit-Baltistan, for example; it is renowned for its apricot orchards, ancient forts such as <a href=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/2018\/09\/11\/largest-forts-of-pakistan\/\">Altit Baltit<\/a>, and breathtaking views of peaks like Rakaposhi. During the peak floods, parts of it were cut off, with landslides blocking access and a new lake forming from a mudslide that threatened even more flooding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, in <a href=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/2024\/05\/02\/best-places-in-kpk-to-visit\/\">KPK&#8217;s Swat Valley<\/a>, that green paradise with trout streams, ski spots in <a href=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/4days-swat-tour-package\/\">Malam Jabba<\/a>, and the historic Mingora bazaar, cloudbursts in mid-August swept away bridges and stranded folks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buner and Battagram districts nearby reported rapid flooding from heavy rains on August 15, wiping out homes in seconds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And let&#8217;s not forget Kaghan Valley, where the Kunhar River swelled up, affecting spots like Naran and Lake Saif-ul-Mulook.

As of early September 2025, the worst seems to be behind us. The monsoon rains have eased off, and water levels in rivers like the Swat and Kunhar are dropping.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rescue teams from the Pakistan Army and local groups have been working nonstop, clearing debris, rebuilding bridges, and getting aid to people. In Gilgit-Baltistan, the situation stabilized after the August peaks, with no major new incidents reported this month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same is true in KPK; valleys like Swat and Kaghan are experiencing recovery, and tourists are starting to return. It&#8217;s not perfect everywhere, but the focus has shifted from emergency response to rebuilding, which means life is getting back to normal faster than you might think. Keep an eye on <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KITEProjectDoT\">official pages<\/a>\u00a0that give you up-to-date information on which roads are open or closed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"All_Major_Roads_Open_for_Travel\"><\/span><b>All Major Roads Open for Travel<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, about getting around, many roads are damaged, but all the major roads are open for tourists. The Karakoram Highway (KKH), that lifeline connecting Gilgit to places like Hunza and Skardu, was blocked in spots during the July and August floods but got cleared and reopened by late July, and it&#8217;s stayed accessible since.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_31138\" style=\"width: 1180px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31138\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31138\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Safe-places-to-visit.png\" alt=\"Floods in Northern Pakistan: What Happened, What&#039;s Happening Now, and Why It&#039;s Still a Great Time to Visit - pakistan tour and travel all roads are open and safe to travel \" width=\"1170\" height=\"789\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Safe-places-to-visit.png 1170w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Safe-places-to-visit-300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Safe-places-to-visit-1024x691.png 1024w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Safe-places-to-visit-768x518.png 768w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Safe-places-to-visit-120x80.png 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-31138\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Roads are open and safe to travel on<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In KPK, the main road to Swat Valley via the Malakand Pass is open and operating, and the route to Kaghan through Mansehra is clear too, with the Babusar Pass, a scenic shortcut from KPK to Gilgit, now open after previous closures. Some side roads in Ghizer or remote parts of Shangla might still have issues, but the big ones like the Gilgit-Hunza stretch and the Swat Motorway are good to go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Authorities lifted the emergency travel ban on August 31, so as long as you check local updates, driving or busing in is feasible. Just pack some patience for any minor delays from repair work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"All_Tourist_Attractions_Are_Safe_To_Travel\"><\/span><b>All Tourist Attractions Are Safe To Travel<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What about the tourist spots themselves?
