National Highway 21 (Sitapaila-Dharke) is a 24 kilometres (15 mi) National Highway of Nepal, located in Bagmati Province [1] [2] It is an alternative route to Naubise-Nagdhunga section of NH41.[3] The Dharke-Sitapaila stretch begins from Dharke along the Prithvi Highway (NH17) in Dhading and links Sitapaila of Kathmandu through Maheshphant, Bhimdhunga and Ramkot. After the completion of the upgrade work, the 24-km two-lane road will be 12 metres wide.[3] The road is considered to be the shortest alternative route to enter the capital.[4]
