Karnali province linked to India and China by road after 26-year wait

Vehicles can now travel from the Indian border town of Rupaidiha to Tibetan town Hilsa non-stop.

Simkot, the district headquarters of Humla in Karnali province, has finally been connected to Nepal's national road network. The long-held dream came true with the construction of a Bailey bridge over the Chuwakhola river in ward 5 of Kharpunath Rural Municipality, effectively linking Simkot via the Karnali Corridor.
