Repeated BP Highway closures make Pushpalal only viable option

The alternative route connects Khurkot to Manthali in Ramechhap, then to Tamakoshi and Charikot in Dolakha, before linking with the Araniko Highway at Khadichaur in Sindhupalchok and finally reaching Kathmandu.

With even light rainfall repeatedly blocking the BP Highway over the past one month, authorities and commuters are increasingly relying on the Pushpalal Mid-Hill Highway as a vital alternative route linking eastern Nepal to the national capital.
