The recent avalanche in Naran, a renowned tourist destination nestled in the Mansehra District of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), has brought devastation to the region, as multiple residences and hotels were engulfed following the collapse of two glaciers. Situated in the upper Kaghan Valley, Naran enjoys widespread acclaim as a top tourist spot, drawing significant crowds both domestically and internationally during the summer season. However, the area experiences harsh winter conditions, leading to sparse visitor numbers due to heavy snowfall and road closures. The closure of routes to Naran due to avalanches is a common occurrence, posing challenges for travelers navigating the region. The recent avalanche, triggered by the collapse of the Ghamla and Chapran glaciers on Jheel Road, has resulted in the burial of numerous hotels and residences, according to reports from Kaghan Development Authority (KDA) officials. Assessing the extent of the losses has proven to be a daunting task for government agencies, prompting an emergency meeting by the Kaghan Development Authority to form a team to evaluate the damage. This tragic event underscores the unpredictable and hazardous nature of the region’s geography, highlighting the need for proactive measures to mitigate the risks associated with avalanches and ensure the safety of residents and tourists alike.
