List of roads in Nepal

Main article: Roads in Nepal

The first Nepal Road Standard introduced by the Department of roads in 1970, classified roads into 4 types. ^[1] In the second Nepal Road Standard introduced in 2013, the types of the roads were the same. ^[2]

Nepal Road Standard (1970)	Nepal Road Standard (2013)
National Highway	National Highway
Feeder Road	Feeder Road
District/Panchayat Road	District Road
City Road/Street	Urban Road

SSRN 2004 published by the Department of roads in 2004 shows 12 National Highways and 51 Feeder roads in Nepal. ^[3] The SSRN 2017/18 shows that the number of national highways in the country has increased to 18 but the number of feeder roads has decreased. 3 more Highways added to National Highway later and more feeder road decreased.

There were only 21 National Highways in Nepal before 2021. In 2021, 59 more National highways were announced by the government and corrected the highway numbers. ^[4]
