Khotang which is well known for the Halesi Mahadev (East
Pashupati) lies in Sagarmatha
zone of Eastern Region of Nepal. It is situated between
Bhojpur district in the east;
Okhaldhunga districts in the west, Solukhumbu district in
the north and Udayapur district in
the south. It is one of the poorest, most remote and
undeveloped district with in the eastern
region of Nepal.
The poverty and remoteness of the district is due to the limitation in mobility and
accessibility to the economic activities. Transport is one
of the major components in
providing accessibility and hence increases the mobility for
various requirements. Physically
it has rugged topography abraded by rivers and streams
demanding high density of transport
infrastructure. With this geophysical complexity, large part
of the district remains
inaccessible to road head.
