Nagdhunga-Sisnekhola Tunnel Link Road Becomes Morning Walk Destination

Kathmandu. The main link road connecting the Nagdhunga–Sisnekhola tunnel route to the Thankot–Nagdhunga road section has now become an attractive destination for general public for morning walks during the morning time. As the tunnel route has not yet been regularly operational, with low vehicle pressure, hundreds of locals and people coming from various areas are visiting the wide and clean road for physical exercise and walking.< /p>

From early morning, a significant presence of people from youth to senior citizens can be seen on the link road. Some are seen running, some brisk walking, and some doing general exercises in groups. Locals say that due to the open environment, low vehicle traffic, and organized road structure, this area is establishing itself as a safe and easy morning walk spot in the morning.< /p>

The main objective of this link road, which leads to the entrance of the Nagdhunga–Sisnekhola tunnel, is to facilitate vehicle movement by connecting the tunnel route to the Thankot–Nagdhunga road under the Tribhuvan Highway. Once the tunnel route becomes operational, vehicles will enter and exit the tunnel through this road.< /p>

Currently, while the tunnel route is in the final stage of operation, regular public transport has not started on the link road. For this reason, the road remains relatively quiet in the morning, and the public has started using it for health promotion activities.< /p>

According to locals, as open and safe places to walk in the capital are becoming limited, this area has become a suitable option for morning walks due to the wide road, clean environment, and low vehicle pressure. Especially in the cold morning weather, the number of people coming here is seen to be increasing day by day.< /p>

Once the tunnel route is fully operational, the vehicle pressure on this road is expected to increase significantly. After that, it will not be possible to do morning walks as easily as now, so many are taking advantage of this opportunity before the tunnel opens.< /p>

It is believed that once the Nagdhunga–Sisnekhola tunnel, built as Nepal's first road tunnel, becomes operational, travel between the Kathmandu Valley and various parts of the country will become easier, safer, and time-saving.< /p>

For now, however, this wide link road connected to the tunnel route has become a suitable open space for health-conscious people to exercise and go for morning walks in the morning.< /p>
