NEPAL

On Top of the World

Bordering the diverse and beautiful country of India, Nepal is a lovely Himalayan country where the snow-capped mountains disappear into the clouds like stairways to heaven. Apart from the mountain peaks, Nepal is also a major religious hub, housing pilgrimage sites for followers of Buddhism and Hinduism. The crime rate is also very low, making it a very safe travel destination. Nepal is also the gateway to a lot of adventurous trekking trails such as Annapurna, Mount Everest, Manaslu, and Kanchenjunga. 

By Road

Bus is the most convenient option to reach Nepal from India. There are direct buses that operate between Delhi and Kathmandu. Travelling by car is also a common practice. You are required to pay a toll fee and a transport permit at the border crossing. Do not forget to collect the receipts as you might be asked at other checkpoints. Please note, there is a lot of traffic at the border that often makes the journey tedious.

By Train

There are regular passenger and cargo trains that connect Sirsiya (Southern Nepal) and Raxaul (India). There is no visa requirement and this option is only open to Indians and Nepalese. Recently, officials have announced the launch of a direct passenger train between India and Nepal. The train would run from Jayanagar (Bihar) to Kurtha (Dhanusa District, South-eastern Nepal).

By Air

The best way to reach Nepal from Delhi is by flight. There are direct flights operating in this route. These airlines include Indigo, Royal Nepal Airways, Jet Airways and Air India. You might find some great deals if the flight is booked in advance. The approximate travel time is one and a half hours.
