Frequently asked questions

What documents do I need to cross the Nepal border?

For Adults: You must carry either an Original Indian Passport or an Original Voter ID Card issued by the Election Commission of India.

For Children (under 18): A School/College ID Card or a Birth Certificate (along with an adult’s ID) is required.

Important: Aadhaar Cards, PAN cards, and Driving Licenses are not considered valid travel documents for entry into Nepal (though sometimes accepted for infants/senior citizens, carrying a passport/Voter ID is safer for hassle-free entry).

Can I use Indian Rupees in Nepal?

Acceptance: Yes, Indian currency is widely accepted in most tourist areas (Pokhara, Kathmandu, and the border).

Restriction: You can only use notes of ₹100 or below (₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100).

Illegal Notes: Carrying or using Indian currency notes of ₹200, ₹500, or ₹2000 is strictly illegal in Nepal and can lead to confiscation or fines.

Recommendation: Exchange some INR to Nepalese Rupees (NPR) at the border (Sunauli) for smaller expenses, as the local rate is fixed (approx. ₹1 INR = 1.60 NPR).

What is the dress code for Pashupatinath Temple?

Modesty: Both men and women must dress modestly. Long pants/trousers and sleeves are recommended.

Prohibited: Shorts, sleeveless tops, and short skirts are not allowed inside the main temple area.

Hindus Only: Only Hindus are allowed inside the main Pashupatinath temple sanctum. Non-Hindus can view the temple from across the Bagmati river.

Footwear: You must remove your shoes before entering the temple courtyards. Leather goods (belts, wallets, bags) are sometimes restricted in specific areas.

How does the border crossing at Sunauli/Gorakhpur work?

Process: Your cab will stop at the border to register with the Indian and Nepalese immigration/customs.

Permit for Vehicle: If you are in a private taxi, the driver handles the 'Bhansar' (daily vehicle permit). Ensure you carry your physical ID for any spot verification by border police.

Timing: The Sunauli border is typically open 24 hours for people, but vehicle movement may close after 10:00 PM.

Will my Indian SIM card work in Nepal?

Roaming: Most Indian SIMs work on international roaming (check with your provider for specific Nepal packs).

Local SIM: It is much cheaper to buy a local SIM (Ncell or Nepal Telecom) at the border or in Kathmandu. You only need a photocopy of your ID and a passport-sized photo.

Is the drinking water safe in Nepal?

Tap Water: It is not advisable to drink tap water. Always use sealed bottled mineral water, which is easily available in all hotels and shops during the tour.
