A road was built to Rukumkot with the help of India, and a mid-hill highway road through the middle part of Rukumkot was under development (per the Rukumkot article); Wikipedia documents no other access detail for the district.

Rukumkot is the interim district HQ; the government decided to relocate it to Golkhada, Kol (Putha Uttarganga Rural Municipality), but the move was not finalized. The district's three rural municipalities are Bhume, Putha Uttarganga and Sisne; the entire population is rural (2021 census).
