Floods and landslides have blocked roads at five locations in Gorkha, Kavrepalanchok and Surkhet districts, Nepal Police Headquarters has reported. The disruption has affected road access in the three districts, while vehicles will not be allowed to operate on Kantilokpath at night.
Road blockages reported in three districts
The reported closures are spread across five locations in Gorkha, Kavrepalanchok and Surkhet. Nepal Police Headquarters is the source of the information. The available report identifies the number of affected locations and districts but does not specify the individual blocked road sections or the cause of each blockage beyond floods and landslides.
Flooding and landslides can leave roads impassable, and the reported blockages mean vehicles cannot use the affected stretches while they remain closed. No details have been provided in the available information about how long the closures are expected to last or when access may be restored.
Night-time restriction on Kantilokpath
Separately, vehicles will not be allowed to operate on Kantilokpath at night. The restriction is reported alongside the road blockages, though the available information does not state the hours it covers, how long it will remain in force or whether it is connected to a specific landslide or flood-related hazard.
The report does not provide further details about the number of vehicles or travelers affected, nor does it identify alternative routes. It also does not specify whether the restriction applies to all vehicle types. Drivers planning to use Kantilokpath should take account of the night-time operating ban and check for updated information before setting out.
The latest reported situation covers five blocked locations in Gorkha, Kavrepalanchok and Surkhet, as well as the night-time restriction on Kantilokpath. Further updates from the relevant authorities would be needed to confirm changes to road access and the timing of any reopening.
