The Galekot–Tarakhola road in Baglung has reopened after remaining blocked for two weeks, restoring the road connection between Galekot and Tarakhola Rural Municipality. Floodwaters washed away the road track near Gaighat waterfall, close to the boundary between Galekot and Tarakhola, and the route had been obstructed since Ashoj 11. It was brought back into operation after two weeks.
Flood damage cut the road link
The blockage was caused by flooding near Gaighat waterfall on the Galekot–Tarakhola border. Floodwaters washed away part of the track, leaving the main road impassable at that point. The damage interrupted the route that links Galekot with Tarakhola Rural Municipality.
The obstruction began on Ashoj 11 and lasted for two weeks. During that period, the road was not in operation through the damaged section. The reopening restores the road connection between the two areas, although the available information does not specify how the damaged track was repaired or what work was required to make the route passable again.
Road back in operation
The Galekot–Tarakhola road has now been brought back into operation following the two-week interruption. The reopening marks the end of the blockage caused by the flood damage near the waterfall and allows the route to serve its connecting role once more.
The incident highlights the direct effect of flood damage on this road: when water washed away the track at the border area, the main route between Galekot and Tarakhola Rural Municipality was obstructed. The road remained blocked from Ashoj 11 until it was reopened after two weeks.
No further details were provided about the repair process, the condition of the road after reopening, or whether any additional restrictions remain. The confirmed development is that the flood-blocked route is again operational, restoring the connection between Galekot and Tarakhola Rural Municipality in Baglung.
