Dear Ngawang Ji and All,

I myself is so much concerned about the highway situation and have been desperetely waiting for the days for resuming the highway. At the mean time, I have been exploring the alternative ways to send the equipments to Bardibas. The plan at the moment is as follows:

1. Wait for a week (not more than week) for the existing east-west highway to resume.
   
   
2. If the highway doesnot open, I have very recently heard that the new Highway joining Bardibas through Banepa-Sindhuli has a rough road opened. This could be very expensive as it needs to be sent through hiring a good quality Jeep. About 35 km part of the road is in very difficult condition and could cause damage to equipements due to jumping of vehicle.

Thankyou for your patience.

With Regards,

Bimal
