Trishuli Corridor (NH42) a North–South Highway, also known as Kerung–Thori Road, is a national highway of Nepal located between Madhesh and Bagmati provinces of Nepal. The total length of the highway is 197 kilometres (122 mi).[1] [2]

Details

[edit]

The Trishuli Corridor (Kerung-Thori) is considered to be the shortest road in Nepal and connects India and China.[3] This short route was opened after completing a piece of the Mailung-Syaphrubeshi road section by Nepali Army. The construction of the road in this section was started on 4 April 2015. [4]

The road starts at Thori (Indo-Nepal border) in Parsa District of Madhesh Province. It splits off from NH05 and runs northward passing through Parsa National Park. It crosses the NH01 at Bhandara passing through Chitawan National Park. The road then intersects with NH17 at Malekhu. The road bisects from NH17 about 22 kilometres (14 mi) east in Galchhi, a town located on the riverbank of Trishuli. The road then continues to follow the Trishuli River up to the Nepal-China border at Rasuwagadhi.[5][6]
