Road Travel in Nepal

Roads in Nepal



Nepal is mountainous country and 73 % of territory is either mountain or hilly region. Constructing good road is one of big challenges in Nepal. There are many road accidents all over the year but most occurs especially in summer.

Surkhet-Dailekh road is one of the most dangerous roads in Nepal. Buses are too old and feel like missing suspension on it.  

Way to Okhaldunga. Is it really a road?

Bus to Okhaldhunga. Tyre punctured after moving for half an hour. Started at 4 PM from Ghhurmi, reached Okhaldunga 11 am next day. It was just around 40 km. At least I heard there is no accident till the date I used. Very old buses. Too many passengers. But the bus drivers are very good and well experienced.
