Mountain roads in Nepal

Overview

Mountain roads in Nepal are shaped by steep slopes, river valleys, landslide risk, seasonal weather, and the difficulty of maintaining infrastructure across rugged terrain.

Geographic constraints

Roads often follow river corridors, ridge lines, or narrow valley systems, which makes travel sensitive to weather and terrain instability.

Human importance

Mountain roads connect villages with schools, markets, hospitals, migration routes, tourism corridors, and family networks.
