India to Nepal Distance
Being an immediate neighbour to India, getting to Nepal is easy and convenient. Nepal is connected with India through a strong network of roadways, railways, and airways. Home to the Himalayas and some of the world’s highest peaks, like Mount Everest and Lhotse, Nepal is a favourite with trekkers and mountain climbers. Its rich cultural heritage & historical landmarks attract many tourists from the world over. There are many frequent flights between Nepal and various Indian cities, many non-stop and some with one-stop layovers. Folks travelling from North India can also take a train or road journey. Indian citizens are not required to acquire a visa to enter Nepal. However, one must show a valid passport or Voter ID to travel by flight. Visitors from other foreign countries can obtain a visa on arrival at the Kathmandu Airport.
By Air
Nepal's main airport is Tribhuvan International Airport, just 5 kilometres from the capital's city centre. It is the busiest airport in the country and the only international airport connecting Nepal with the rest of the world. Nepal Airlines, IndiGo, Air India, and Buddha Air operate daily flights. Board a direct flight to Kathmandu from New Delhi, Kolkata, and Varanasi and reach Nepal in 1-2 hours. Flights from Mumbai, Chennai, and Bengaluru usually take a connecting route to Nepal, taking anywhere between 5 to 10 hours to reach. Travelling by air is one of the fastest ways how to reach Nepal from India. However, make sure to book tickets well in time, as seats can get filled fairly quickly, especially during peak season between October and December.
By Train
The Jaynagar–Janakpur–Bardibas railway line is a cross-border track that connects the two countries. It starts in Jaynagar in Bihar and is currently operational till Janakpur in Nepal, with plans to extend it to Bardibas soon. This line was initially built in the British era for freight transport, but it opened as a passenger railway track in 2022. The train covers the distance in about 2 hours 15 minutes. Other railway lines from states like Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal to Nepal are under construction and survey. While it is not the most convenient option to travel to Nepal by train currently, we can soon expect much better service between the two countries.
By Road
Five main border crossings are open to tourists travelling from India to Nepal by road. The Sunauli-Bhairawa border crossing in Uttar Pradesh is the closest to Varanasi. The Raxaul-Birganj crossing in Bihar is closest to cities like Patna and Kolkata. The Siliguri-Kakarbhitta border crossing in West Bengal is closest to Darjeeling. The Banbassa-Mahendrenagar border crossing in Uttarakhand is the closest to travellers from Delhi. The Bahraich-Nepalganj border is the one closest to Lucknow. If you’re travelling from North India, a road trip can be a fantastic time for you. It is one of the easiest ways how to reach Nepal from India. You can also find buses to Kathmandu from Delhi. A journey from Delhi can take up to 24 hours.
