Is the road to Badawi Pass unpaved?

The rugged road to the summit, also known as Do Teer Pass, Badgoi Pass, and Badogai Pass, is entirely unpaved. It’s called Utrar-Dir Road. Be prepared; this road is not for the faint of heart or ill-prepared. The top of the pass, marked by the two-faced hill, offers scenic views of both the Swat and Dir Kohistan sides. A 4x4 vehicle with high clearance is required. Expect a trail that is pretty steep, with sections up to 29 percent. Drive with care, as this is a mountain road with hairpin curves and dangerous drop-offs.

Is Badawi Pass open in winters?

Set high on the border between Kumrat Valley and Kalam Valley, the road is usually impassable from November through June.
