MUSTANG, Nov 7: The Mustang-Dolpa road has been impassable for the last 10 days due to accumulation of snow on the road following heavy snowfall. The Road Division Office in Mustang has expanded the Mustang–Dolpa road from Pakling in Mustang through Sangta village to Chhuksam in Dolpa.
To assist Upper Dolpa residents in transporting goods to Jomsom in Mustang and traveling to Pokhara–Kathmandu, the Baglung Road Division Office has upgraded the Mustang–Dolpa road and created a new track as the shortest direct route from the Dolpa headquarters.

Additionally, the Mustang–Dolpa road was widened to facilitate the transport of goods from Mustang to Upper Dolpa and to enable the movement of sheep and yaks from Dolpa to Mustang. Surendra Gurung, the ward chairperson of Baragung Muktichhetra–5, reported that the Mustang–Dolpa road, situated at an elevation of 4,000 meters above sea level, has been blocked due to heavy snowfall.
The blockage has hindered the transport of goods and vehicles from Jomsom to Chhuksam. Ward Chairperson Gurung mentioned that a request for snow removal has been made to the Baglung Road Division Office to restore the road's functionality.
