Pasang Lhamu road: Trishuli–Betrawati–Mailung–Syabrubesi–Rasuwagadhi

Overview

BIPAD's latest highway record still marks NH42 from Galchhi through Trishuli, Betrawati, Mailung and Syabrubesi to Rasuwagadhi as closed. It says flooding swept away the river-route road. The same record's timing fields conflict, so do not use them to predict when the road will reopen. Check the latest official road notice before travel.

Trishuli-side Galchi–Syabrubesi and Muglin–Narayanghat corridors

Overview

An earlier Nepal Police notice current to 11:00 NPT reported one-way traffic on broad Trishuli-side sections of the Galchi-Syabrubesi and Muglin-Narayanghat corridors. The newer 11:42 notice no longer includes that broad statement and instead lists exact blocked segments. Do not rely on this earlier corridor-wide report for current travel.
