Drivers using the Nagdhunga–Sisnekhola road tunnel will face tolls from November 1, 2026, after an initial period of free passage. Nepal Drives reports that the Nagdhunga Tunnel Construction Project announced charges by vehicle class and travel direction, following a Road Board Nepal decision on October 28. The tunnel links the Kathmandu side with Sisnekhola and has been used as an alternative when the existing Nagdhunga road was disrupted.
For cars, vans, pickups and other light vehicles, the reported charge is Rs 65 when entering Kathmandu and Rs 60 when leaving. Minibuses and mini-trucks will pay Rs 115 inbound and Rs 80 outbound; single-rear-axle buses and trucks, Rs 260 and Rs 200. Motorcycles and vehicles carrying petroleum products are not allowed through the tunnel. Drivers should check the operator’s latest notice before travelling, as payment arrangements and access rules can change.
