Mangalsen, the district headquarters, is eight hours walk from Sanfebagar - a town in Achham sporting a non-functional domestic airport. A seasonal road exists from Sanfebagar to Mangalsen but is often closed during monsoon season. A bridge crosses the Budhi Ganga river in Sanfebagar allowing access during high water, a second bridge over the second river crossing is also under construction. During 2008, the government of Nepal will be constructing a paved road connecting Sanfebagar to Mangalsen.
