The Nagma-Gamgadhi route along the Karnali Highway will be upgraded. The 93-kilometer route serves as an approach road to Nepal’s major touristic destination Rara Lake.
It has been decided to complete the blacktopping of 6.5 kilometers section from Kanaka Sundari to Rokayabada along the 93-km road within the current fiscal.
According to the Road Division Office, Jumla information officer Chitra Chaulagain, work to construct culverts, cemented structures, and walls from Hatsinja Guthijyula to Malikabota has finished. In the first phase, the 6.5 kilometers road will be blacktopped and construction will begin in mid-February.
Thodung Wachan JV Company has been awarded the contract to undertake the upgrading work and the deadline to complete the project is until mid-July. The project is estimated to cost Rs 400 million. Office Chief Rajiv Shrestha, they gear up for managing the budget for blacktopping the entire road.
It is said potential tourist arrivals to Rara Lake have remained unmet due to the existing poor condition of the roadway. The blacktopping of the Nagma-Gamgadhi gravel road is expected to encourage tourist arrival to Rara Lake._Rss
