DPR has been advanced for the road upgrading of the touristic Rara highway in Karnali province. DPR has been advanced for upgradation of 20 km road.[3] Also a feasibility study for a tunnel linking Jajarkot and Jumla is set to begin soon. One has to walk around 10 hours uphill to reach Jumla from Jajarkot. The tunnel will reduce the journey to a mere 30 mins once the tunnel construction is completed[4]
