The Karnali Rajmarg ( Nepali कर्णाली राजमार्ग ; English Karnali Highway ) is a highway in western Nepal that connects the districts of Surkhet , Kalikot and Jumla .
The 232 km long overland road leads from Birendranagar to the north. It crosses the mountain ranges of the Front Himalayas . It reaches the river valley of the Karnali and crosses its left tributary Lohore Khola at its mouth. There branch off side streets that lead to the eastern Dailekh district. The Karnali Rajmarg follows the eastern bank of the Karnali north to the confluence of the Tila . There it leads up to Manma , the district capital of Kalikot . The highway then runs along the north bank of the Tila in an easterly direction to Chandannath , the capital of Jumla, where it ends. In the Tila Valley, a road branches off to Sri Nagar , the capital of the Mugu district, to the north.
The Karnali Rajmarg is largely unpaved. The road is of great economic importance to the remote Jumla, Kalikot and Mugu districts.
