Perilous Condition Of Nepal Highway Continues One Week After Heavy Downpour In 2025
Travelers cross over a section of BP Highway, which now turns into a flowing river following last weekend's heavy downpour, on October 9, 2025. Various sections of the BP Highway, built with Japanese assistance, are swept by the floods of 2024, and within weeks since the disaster, diversions are set up to bring it back into operation. The local authorities, in coordination with the central government, are again setting up diversions, but people are forced to cling to the rocks to get across the road section and catch a bus to continue their journey. One week since the heavy rain batters the Himalayan nation, at least nine major highways connecting various parts of the country remain completely obstructed, according to the latest update from Nepal Police. As a result, many who leave Kathmandu Valley for their village homes for the Dashain festival face difficulties in returning to their workplace and temporary residence.
