Nepal FAQ What are the roads like in Nepal ?
Lot of pot holes, unmarked and dusty with unregulated traffic and most roads were built with assistance from USA, India, Saudi Arabia, Britain, the Soviet Union, Switzerland, and China. There is only one highway that connects its Capital (Kathmandu) to India – the heart of supply for oil, gas and commodities like rice to Nepal. If this highway were to stop even for a week, the entire Kathmandu would go chaos! There are not enough roads to reach remote areas where still people have to walk for hours to get to facilities such as hospital. Nepal has 13,200 KM highways only 30% of it is paved.
