Kholsi area at Rabiopi
The Thathall–Rabiopi Road Tunnel is proposed for construction in Bhaktapur District, Bagmati Province, with the primary objective of enhancing connectivity for the people of Bhaktapur, Nuwakot, Sindhupalchowk, Kavrepalanchowk, and Kathmandu districts. The tunnel is expected to contribute to balanced urban development by promoting the growth of Panchkhal as a secondary urban center, potentially easing population pressure in the densely populated Kathmandu Valley. Additionally, the tunnel will significantly reduce travel distance along the Araniko Highway toward the China border at Kodari, as well as improve access to the Mid-Hill Highway from the Kathmandu Valley.
Client : Department of Roads (DOR), Nepal
Scope of Works : The overarching objective of the project is to conduct the feasibility study of the Thathali-Rabiopi Road Tunnel to be constructed under DB or EPC Model.
