Travel Between Nepal and India by Road

Nepal and India share a long open border, making road travel an excellent option for both Nepali and Indian citizens. Unlike air travel, bus journeys allow passengers to enjoy changing landscapes, traditional villages, rivers, forests, agricultural fields, and mountain views throughout the trip.
