It has direct road connection with Pokhara and Kusma the later being the district headquarters. Vendors transport goods from Pokhara and Kathmandu.

Notable Feature: The Mahashila Stone Lunkhu Deurali is known for being home to the “Mahashila”, a massive rock formation considered by locals to be among the world's largest single stone formations. This natural landmark is not only geologically significant but also holds cultural and spiritual value for the local community. It is believed to have inspired the name of the current Mahashila Rural Municipality. The stone attracts visitors for its sheer size and has the potential to become a major geo-tourism attraction if properly promoted.
