Nepali car for the first time in Tiptala

The condition of the company was to build a road up to Tiptala Bhanjyang, the border between Nepal and China. Ward No. Gharti, who was holding the gear lever of the machine on the climb of 6 Lelep, had to face a landslide when he reached the Muguva side on dry land. During the construction, while moving towards Olangchungola, a landslide fell from above and took away half of the machine . He managed to survive.

At that time, he remembered his family as children. I also wondered what day I started such work. His courage came again and he remembered, 'I have to deliver the Nepali machine to the border of China, that's why I survived.'

Pashupati Pokhrel has reached with him by driving another machine. Taplejung in the east and Darchula in the west are districts bordering both China and India. Taplejung, Sankhuwasabha and Solukhumvu of Koshi region are connected with China. Among these districts, Taplejung and Sankhuwasabha are connected by road.

Among them, a Nepali vehicle has reached Tiptala Bhanjyang, the border of Chinasag from Taplejung for the first time. It is at an altitude of 5100 meters. Two scavengers and one tractor driver drove their vehicles and stopped them on the edge of the bilateral border on Friday afternoon. Construction company contractor Pemba Thile Sherpa believes that six years of hard work has paid off.

This company started working from February 2074. The company, which took the contract for 44 crores, has constructed 57 kilometers of roads including track opening and maintenance. Pemwa, who owns this house (Faktanglung Village 6 Lelep), said that he took charge of the construction because he wanted to leave his district with China. Despite many obstacles, he continued his continuous efforts.

'Had it been another contractor, I would have run away from the middle,' he says, 'From looking for an experienced driver, I tried continuously to face the challenge and we succeeded. Head of North-South (Mulghat-Dobhan-Olangchungola) road project Sudarshan Karki says that this contract was completed after the Nepalese vehicle reached the border.

'Now I will go to the border for monitoring, then we will open a contract to build a two-lane road like the Tamor Corridor,' he added, 'In the next four/five years, the two-lane road will be completed.' The distance from Taplejung headquarters to Fungling is 85 km . According to

project manager Rajeev Lamichhane, the tractor reaches the border from Fungling. Other small vehicles cannot be towed in the Tamor river in Sukepani connecting Lelep and Olangchungola. Until the last week of March, other vehicles also drove, we reached the settlement of Olangchungola by riding a vehicle, other people also arrived," Lamichhane said, "Then the water in the river increased and the vehicle could not reach it." Rajeev says that he dug the road with 22/2500 liters of oil at a time.

Those born in Olangchungola, a settlement near the bilateral border, have the same contribution in road construction. People who were born here and lived abroad collected more than 20 million rupees and built 24 kilometers of road from the border to the settlement. Vehicles were also brought from China on the roads that were dug by renting machines from China.

The three Nepali people went to the neighboring country by riding in a Chinese vehicle. In China's Wuhan, traffic and roads were closed due to the corona infection. "In the first phase, we fulfilled the desire to ride vehicles by bringing machines and vehicles from the neighboring country," said Cheten Sherpa, Ward President of Paktanglung Rural Municipality-7, "We made the dream come true by bringing vehicles from our own country." Chief (Joint Secretary of Road Department) Kuwer Nepali says that the road was built at relatively low cost. "During the construction of this road, machines were also brought from China to practice digging, I don't think other roads in Nepal are dug in this way," he added It is also a short distance and a low-cost road compared to other roads.

The road office said that the distance from Tiptala Bhanjyang, which is also the starting point of the Tamor River, to Mulghat in Dhankuta, Bhedetar and Rani Bhansar in Biratnagar is about 300 meters. Therefore, the road office claims that this road is the shortest road to the north.
