Shantighat Raskot road blacktopping Kalikot
Blacktopping of the Shantighat to Raskot road in Kalikot district is moving ahead, Gorkhapatra reported on 16 October 2026.
The report says a contract agreement for the blacktopping work was reached in fiscal year 2080, and the work is now being carried out on the ground. The road is an important link for Raskot and the surrounding settlements of Kalikot, one of the most remote districts of Karnali Province.
For hill districts like Kalikot, a blacktopped road changes daily life in practical ways: vehicles can run through the year, transport costs for food and construction materials fall, and patients can reach hospitals faster.
Local road users will be watching the pace and quality of the surfacing work as it proceeds along the section.
The Shantighat Raskot road blacktopping Kalikot work follows a contract agreed in fiscal year 2080 for this important link in remote Karnali Province.
