Nepal Road Block Update – Highway Closures and Travel Advisory
Nepal road block update for October 10, 2026: Heavy rainfall, landslides, flooding, and road damage have disrupted travel on several highways across Nepal. Travelers planning trips to Pokhara, Mustang, Manang, Rasuwa, and other popular destinations should check the latest road conditions before starting their journey. Road conditions can change quickly, so it is important to confirm whether routes are open, partially open, or completely blocked.
Latest Road Block Updates in Nepal
According to news reports published on October 10, several major roads were affected by floods and landslides. The reported conditions included full closures, one-way traffic, and restrictions for larger vehicles on some routes. These reports reflect conditions at the time of publication and may change as road clearance and repair work continues.
1. Prithvi Highway – Dhading
The Prithvi Highway was reported blocked at Galaundi in Gajuri-5, Dhading. This highway is an important route connecting Kathmandu with Mugling, Pokhara, and other destinations. A closure can cause delays for tourists, public buses, private vehicles, and trekking groups travelling towards Pokhara. Travellers should confirm the latest traffic update before leaving Kathmandu.
2. BP Highway – Kavre
The BP Highway was initially reported blocked because of flooding in Kavre. A later report indicated that the highway had reopened after debris clearance. Since road conditions can change again during heavy rainfall, travellers should verify the latest status before using this route.
3. Tribhuvan Highway – Dhading
Traffic on the Tribhuvan Highway was reported operating one-way at Khatripauwa in Dhading. One-way traffic can lead to long waiting times, particularly when vehicles are queued on narrow road sections. Travellers should allow extra time and follow instructions from traffic police.
4. Beni–Jomsom Road
The Beni–Jomsom route was reported operating one-way at Baisari in Myagdi. This road is important for visitors travelling towards Mustang, including Jomsom and nearby trekking destinations. Weather-related road damage can affect travel schedules, so visitors should confirm transport arrangements with their hotels, guides, or local operators.
5. Rasuwa and Other Mountain Routes
Reports also indicated that major roads in Rasuwa were disrupted. Other affected routes included sections of the Kaligandaki Corridor and the Besisahar–Khangsar road. Some locations were reported operating one-way, while other sections were blocked by landslides or flooding. Travellers heading to remote mountain destinations should seek local updates before departure.
How Road Closures Affect Trekking and Tours
Road blockages can affect trekking itineraries, airport transfers, hotel bookings, sightseeing tours, and vehicle arrangements. A delay on the highway may mean arriving at a destination later than planned or missing a scheduled connection. During the monsoon and periods of unstable weather, travellers should keep their itinerary flexible.
If you have booked a trekking package, contact your trekking agency or guide before travelling. Ask whether the planned route is accessible, whether an alternative route is available, and whether the departure time needs to change. Avoid attempting to cross flooded roads or landslide areas without official clearance.
Where to Check the Latest Road Conditions
Before travelling, check official traffic notices and road updates from the relevant authorities. You can also contact local traffic police, transport operators, hotels, and trekking agencies for information about specific routes. The Department of Roads provides a road-status dashboard that may help travellers review reported road conditions.
