The Araniko Highway or NH34 (previously: H03) (Nepali: अरनिको राजमार्ग , Araniko Rajmarga) connects Kathmandu with Kodari, 112.83 kilometres (70.11 mi)[1][failed verification] northeast of the Kathmandu Valley, on the Nepal-China border. It is among the most dangerous of highways in Nepal due to extremely steep slopes on each side of the road from Barabise onwards; massive landslides and bus plunges[2] are not uncommon, especially after rains. At the Sino-Nepal Friendship Bridge, it connects with China National Highway 318 to Lhasa, and eventually to Shanghai.[3]
