National Highway NH40 (Thanapati-Samakhushi) is a national highway of Nepal. The highway is located in Kathmandu District and Nuwakot District of Bagmati Province. The total length of the highway is 29.52 kilometres (18.34 mi). [1] [2]

The Highway was proposed to construct 54.80 kilometres (34.05 mi) as a Feeder road (F082) from Samakhushi to Gangate [3] but later plan changed and took decision to convert 29.52 kilometres (18.34 mi) of the road from Samakhushi to Thanagau as National Highway 40. The government gave a contract to upgrade and develop the Feeder road F082 (from Samakhusi to Thanagau 29.52 kilometres (18.34 mi)) plus (Thanagau to Chhahare 4.62 kilometres (2.87 mi)) total 34.2 kilometres (21.3 mi).[4] The project was envisioned to increase trade between Kerung bazaar and China through Rasuwa and Nuwakot[5]
