53-year-old Karmabhupten Tamang of Dolpobuddha Village-1 in Dolpa takes 3 days one way to reach the headquarters. "Due to the geographical difficulty, we have to risk our lives on the narrow road to reach the headquarters. There is no option to carry goods in Khachchad because there is no road," he said.

He said that due to extreme cold and lack of irrigation facilities, only one crop of lice is produced in the village in a year. According to him, if that product is not enough to eat even for 3 months, then there is a compulsion to consume food from outside for almost 9 months.

Pemmadhorche Gurung, vice president of Dolpobuddha Rural Municipality, said that the most problems are in the 3 local levels of Upper Dolpa. According to him, in the year 2075, after the road reached the capital Dunai, the government started the construction of a new corridor to connect the road with China.

3 municipalities of upper Dolpa have also built nearly 40 kilometers of roads, he informed. Angad Kumar Rana, Chairman of Kaike Rural Municipality of Dolpa, said that due to the delay in the construction of the Bheri Corridor, the Municipality is still not connected to the road network. According to him, it is necessary to walk for at least 6 hours from Dunai to reach the center city of the municipality. Surya/Shreya/Shantidevi JV has been working for 3 years on the 25 km road from Dolpa headquarter Dunai to Lasikyap of Kaike Rural Municipality under the corridor, but it is delaying. 

He signed a contract on 17th Chait 2078 with a budget of 130 million. Even though the contractor company has been given a deadline till December 16, the company has done only 15 percent so far. tell According to him, the government is ready to hand over the 35 km section from Lasikap to Sisoul to the Nepali Army due to the hard rocks and the hills.  He informed that the cabinet meeting has yet to decide on handing over

to the army. For road construction, the Nepali Army has conducted preliminary on-site study and sent the report to the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport through the Ministry of Defence. The road will connect Marimla in China from the border of Dolpobuddha Rural Municipality, while Saldangsag in Sefoksundo Rural Municipality will connect to Kato in Tibet.

As the work of Gamgarhi-Nakchenagla connecting Mugu with China is not completed, only one ward of Mugamkarmarong Rural Municipality is connected to the road network, Chairman Chiringcapne Lama said. According to him, if this road, which is 68 km from Gamgarhi, is completed, the road will be connected to all the wards of the municipality. But so far 16 km ward no.
