The fluttering prayer flags beckoning to mountains
Rated 4.50/5 ( based on 708 reviews )
India to Nepal Distance
Being well-connected to some major countries through the network of roadways, railway stations and airways, it is quite easy to figure out how to go to Nepal. With numerous India to Nepal flights, including nonstop and one-stop flights operating from different cities of the country, one can cover the India to Nepal distance of around 1010 kms in less than 2 hours. Other than airways, crossing the border by road is the most popular means of commuting from the major Indian cities. There are well-maintained roadway and railway networks as well.
The main airport in Nepal is the Tribhuvan International Airport, 5 kilometres away from the city centre of the capital Kathmandu. It is the busiest one in the country and also the only international airport that connects Nepal with the rest of the world. Those living in North India can also consider travelling via roadways for their convenience, especially from Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar region. The regions where border-crossing is allowed are Sunauli in UP, Raxaul in Bihar, Banbasa in Uttarakhand and Panitanki in West Bengal.
Nepal Visa Application Information
Indian citizens are not required to acquire a visa to enter Nepal. Though, in order to travel by flight, one needs to show a valid passport or Voter ID at the immigration centre. However, visitors from other foreign countries can obtain a visa-on-arrival at the Kathmandu Airport.
Now, just go through our guide to find out how to reach Nepal from India via different modes of transport.
By Air
There are multiple flights from Delhi to Nepal on a daily basis, and many of them are direct. The nonstop flights are operated mostly by Air India, Jet Airways, Indigo and Nepal Airlines. Though, India to Nepal flight duration for these flights is around 1 hour 45 minutes, often the flights take longer to reach because of the layovers at Delhi. However, flights are the best means of transport to reach India from Nepal, especially if you are not from the northern part of the country.
By Train
The historic British-era Nepal train line running from Janakpur in Nepal to Jayanagar in India was shut down in 2014 and is currently under upgrade. Besides that, there are several India-Nepal railway lines, including ones connected with New Jalpaiguri, Jogbani and Nepalganj Road. For now, there is no direct India to Nepal train. However, Gorakhpur and Raxaul being the closest stations on the Nepal route, one can take trains up to there and make the rest of the journey by road. There are trains from Howrah Station near Kolkata to the Raxaul Junction at the border.
By Road
India to Nepal distance from Delhi to Kathmandu via roadway is around 21 hours. Coincidentally, this is also one of the better routes to get into Nepal. The most-used India-Nepal border is the one at Sunauli, Uttar Pradesh. This can be reached via Gorakhpur by train from Delhi. Other borders that can be used to get into Nepal are Raxaul which can be reached from Kolkata or Patna. Raxaul and Gorakhpur are the nearest railway stations to Nepal in India.
