The road from Dhangadi to Gokule passes through Sreekot. Since roads are scarce in Baitadi, Sreekot serves as a de facto transportation hub for all the small villages which surround it. Sreekot also has a small bazaar, supplied by trucks, which is the commercial center for the immediately surrounding area. Some agricultural products (rice, lentils, occasionally vegetables when in season) are sold, as well as other commodities (kerosene, school books, pens and ink).
