There are no bridges, but there is an alternative. After the Nepal tragedy, the river is crossed like this

CNN Portugal2 September 2026 at 15:46

A sudden flash flood in Nepal destroyed several bridges in the region, preventing people from crossing rivers conventionally. The tragedy left communities isolated and without access to traditional crossing methods.

Despite the damage caused by the floods, the residents of Nuwakot managed to find an alternative to continue moving from one side of the river to the other. The solution allowed circulation between the banks to be maintained even without the destroyed infrastructure.

The article highlights that, although the bridges were completely unusable after the flash flood, the local population was not completely prevented from moving around, resorting to alternative methods discovered after the tragedy.
