National Highway 68 (NH68) is a proposed national highway in Nepal located in Gandaki and Lumbini Provinces of Nepal. The total length of the highway is 83.10 kilometres (51.64 mi) in which 10.17 km (6.32 mi) of the track has been opened.
The provincial government, in collaboration with the central government, has allocated a budget of 16 crore 20 lakhs to continue the projects of Greater Pokhara Ring Road, Bhimad-Dedhgaon-Arunkhola Road, Shaligram Corridor and Arughat-Sirdibas-Ruila Bhanjyang. Lack of quality and irregularities in the work by the contractor is the main reason for not finishing work on time. Local people have demanded action against the contractor.
