There is a bridge on the Kosi River with a length of about 200 meters which connects Betalghat and Malli Seti, and further down this road connects to Ramnagar.
Well shuttled bus and taxi services are available for Ramnagar, Haldwani, Nainital, Ranikhet, Almora, Bhatrojkhan, and Garampani-Khairna.
No roadways are connected, and road conditions are very poor. There are three connecting roads from Khairna, two connecting roads from Bhatrojkhan, and three connecting roads from Ramnagar, but all are full of potholes.
After 5 p.m., no public transport is available.
