Good to know on this road

  • Munsiyari has two road approaches, the Thal to Munsiyari road and the Jauljibi to Munsiyari road. Heavy rain in mid August 2026 closed both: debris at Girgaon, Nai Basti and Harariya on the Thal road after the Jhekla nala flooded, and at Ghingharani on the Jauljibi road. (amarujala.com, 14 Aug 2026)
  • Snow closes the Thal road at Kalamuni. After the Basant Panchami snowfall in January 2026, about 8 km from Kalamuni to Nai Basti stayed under snow five days later; a truck stuck near Kalamuni caused a long jam, and the SDM told BRO to clear it. (amarujala.com, 27 Jan 2026)
  • Heavy snow shut the Thal to Munsiyari road between Eco Park and Kalamuni from 27 Feb 2025 for about three days until GREF cleared it with a JCB. Meanwhile vehicles went round via Madkot and Jauljibi. (amarujala.com, 2 Mar 2025)
  • In the first snowfall of December 2024 the road near Kalamuni closed; traffic from Munsiyari towards Thal, Almora and Haldwani was sent via Madkot, about 10 km extra, and the road reopened late the same evening. (amarujala.com, 10 Dec 2024)
  • The Pithoragarh district page for Munsyari gives about 90 km by road from the district headquarters, about 94 km from Naini Saini airport, about 300 km from Kathgodam station, and an altitude of 2,135 m. (pithoragarh.nic.in)
  • Pithoragarh police listed the Thal to Munsyari road closed by heavy rain and falling stones on 19 Aug 2025 and still closed on 22 Aug 2025, while other national and state highways were open. (english.punjabkesari.com, 22 Aug 2025)
  • Debris and boulders near Bunik closed the Thal to Munsiyari road for about 12 hours, from about 8 PM on 18 Jun 2025 to 8 AM next morning. (amarujala.com, 20 Jun 2025)
  • On 11 Sep 2026 a loaded truck got stuck in debris near Girgaon on the Thal to Munsiyari road and blocked both directions for about an hour until PWD pulled it out with a JCB. (amarujala.com, 11 Sept 2026)

How we made this page

The road is OpenStreetMap's, routed for a car by two public routers (OSRM and Valhalla), the shorter of the two kept; a town is on it when it lies within a few hundred metres of the line (a village) or 2.5 km (a town centre). Heights are the site's published figures, else a 90 m elevation model, shown as "about". Trains and flights are from the railway and airline timetables, buses and taxis from the operators and the news, each linked where it is used. No drive times: a router's times are plains times. If anything here is out of date, tell us on WhatsApp.
