Kanti Highway or NH37 Nepali: कन्ती लोक्पथ रोड) is a 92-kilometre-long (57 mi) feeder road under construction in Bagmati Province, Nepal, that connects Lalitpur Metropolitan City to Hetauda Sub-Metropolitan City.^[1]^[2]

The construction on the road started in 1954 by King Mahendra, and the road was initially named Tikabhairab-Hetauda Road.^[3]^[4] However, in 1962, it was named Kanti Highway after the Queen Kanti of Nepal.^[3]

In the late 1990s, the Government of Nepal recognised this road as an alternative highway of Tribhuvan Highway (H02) that connects Kathmandu to Birgunj on the Nepal-India border.^[3]^[5]
