As we all know that Nepal is a poor country,as it is in its developing stage,it has not been able to make any advance development in its transportation system.Still now more than 50% of the people live in the rural areas which are not so developed,they still have a traditional lifestyle as compared to the people living in the urban areas such as towns and cities which are much more developed than the rural areas. There is a vast difference in the education system as well.People living in the urban areas are much more educated and are aware of the public development and contribute towards the national development.People living there are facing lots of problems,whenever a person becomes ill they have to go the cities or towns for their treatment and there are no enough means of transportation available there so people have to walk for long distances to reach to the place where there are health facilities even for the small treatment.In some serious cases, it may even lead to the death of people because they cannot take the patients in right time to the hospital which is also due to the lack of transportation facility.So the government must focus on the development of rural areas including the urban areas ,and provide every facilities to the people living over there because for the complete development oa a nation,it is necessary to take all the people living both in rural and the urban areas at an equal level.
The various systems of transportthat are available nowadays.They are roadways, airways, waterways, railways and ropeways out Of which,Nepal has mainly developed two means of transport: Roadways and Airways.But Nepal has still not made a satisfactory development in transportation sector,it is still poor in transport.There are two main reasons for it:physical feature and economic backwardness of the country. As we know Nepal is a mountainous country,there are high mountains, hills,deep valleys and rivers so building roads in such places is very difficult and challenging.Besides,Nepal is a landlocked country so sea-route i.e Waterways is not available.Also due to the poor economic condition of the country,it is difficult to meet the high expenses of constructing roads.We have to depend upon other countries’ assistance for major roads.So people living in the mountains still use animals like yaks, ponies, sheep, etc.to carry goods for their comfortness.Even in the rural areas of the terai bullock carts, horses, bicycles, etc. are used for transportation.The natural disasters like flood, landslide,soil erosion, etc.occur frequently and damage our roads and bridges which causes extra loss because these roads needs reconstruction which causes the loss of money which may be utilised in building roads on other places.So,transportation sector needs to be given more emphasis for the further development of country because as we all know that other infrastructures of development such as education,health,water facilty etc also depends on it.
