Questions about Nepal tours
Are prices and inclusions fixed?
No price is assumed here. Ask for a written quote showing transport, accommodation, meals, permits and exclusions for your dates.
What should I check before crossing the India–Nepal border by land?
Requirements depend on nationality, age, crossing and travel method. India’s Bureau of Immigration says Indian citizens entering Nepal by land or air do not require a passport or visa. Check what original proof of identity is accepted for each traveller, including children, with the relevant border authorities before departure. Do not assume the Indian Embassy’s air-travel document list applies unchanged to land crossings.
Other nationals should check passport validity, visa eligibility and whether a visa is needed in advance with Nepal’s Department of Immigration or a Nepalese diplomatic mission. Confirm that your chosen crossing handles your nationality and visa, its opening hours and entry formalities with the relevant immigration office; also check Indian exit and re-entry requirements. The Nepal Tourism Board’s road guide lists routes and entry points, but verify current availability directly.
What if I take a vehicle across?
For your own or a hired vehicle, check the applicable customs formalities, permits, documents, fees and allowed stay with Nepal Customs and the border office for the vehicle’s registration and type. The Indian Embassy’s guidance for Indian-registered vehicles describes Nepal Customs passes, including day passes and passes for longer visits. If travelling by bus or a tour vehicle, ask the operator how the crossing and vehicle formalities will be handled.
