Roads in Nepal

The road network in Nepal plays a vital role in connecting its diverse geographical and cultural landscapes.

As a landlocked country nestled in the Himalayas, Nepal faces unique challenges in road construction and maintenance, yet significant strides have been made to improve transportation infrastructure.

This highway connected Kathmandu, the capital city, to the Indian border town of Raxaul, facilitating trade and travel.

Each level of government plays a key role in the maintenance and development of the road network in their respective jurisdictions.
