The Karnali Highway, a crucial route for both residents and tourists, has once again been obstructed due to landslides. According to Bir Bahadur GT, Public Information Officer at the Jumla-based Road Division Office, the road has been completely blocked at Gagnekhola and Esmod in Shubhkalika Rural Municipality-1, Kalikot District.
Continuous heavy rainfall has exacerbated the situation, leading to persistent landslides that have severely impacted mobility. The Road Division Office advises travelers to check current road conditions before planning their journeys, as the situation remains fluid and conditions can change rapidly.
The ongoing road block has left vehicles and passengers stranded, disrupting travel plans for tourists and locals alike. The challenge of clearing the landslide debris is compounded by the continuous rainfall, making the restoration of normal traffic flow a complex task.
For tourists planning to visit the Karnali region or exploring nearby attractions, it is crucial to stay updated on road conditions and consider alternative travel routes. The obstruction of the Karnali Highway highlights the need for careful planning and awareness of local conditions when traveling in regions prone to natural disruptions.
