National Highway NH40 (Thanapati-Samakhushi) is a national highway of Nepal. The highway is located in Kathmandu District and Nuwakot District of Bagmati Province. The total length of the highway is 29.52 kilometres (18.34 mi).

The Highway was proposed to construct 54.80 kilometres (34.05 mi) as a Feeder road (F082) from Samakhushi to Gangate but later plan changed and took decision to convert 29.52 kilometres (18.34 mi) of the road from Samakhushi to Thanagau as National Highway 40. The government gave a contract to upgrade and develop the Feeder road F082 (from Samakhusi to Thanagau 29.52 kilometres (18.34 mi)) plus (Thanagau to Chhahare 4.62 kilometres (2.87 mi)) total 34.2 kilometres (21.3 mi).
