New ICPs at Bhairahwa and Dodhara Chandni are among the initiatives that the brief describes as nearing completion or at various stages of understanding or implementation. Travellers should check which crossing points are open to them, and the documents required, with the relevant authorities before travelling.

Tourism

According to the brief, India is the largest source country for tourism into Nepal. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Cooperation in the field of Tourism was signed between the two Governments in November 2014.

The brief states that the synergy created by religious and adventure tourism has been strengthened by documentation of key tourist places in both countries, including through social media, and by enhanced physical and digital connectivity. It says these factors have contributed to increased tourist flows.

Visas and entry

The brief has no information on visa or entry requirements for travel between India and Nepal. Diplo therefore gives no requirements, fees, processing times or eligibility rules. Anyone planning to travel to Nepal should check current requirements with the Embassy of Nepal in New Delhi or the Consulate General in Kolkata.

Cross-border payments

In June 2026, a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) linkage between the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) of India and the National Payments Interface (NPI) of Nepal was launched to facilitate cross-border personal remittances between the two countries. The brief states that it will help further strengthen digital connectivity between India and Nepal.

Readers who want to use the linkage should confirm its current terms with their bank or payment provider.

Honorary consuls and confirming requirements

The register lists no honorary consulates of Nepal in India; Nepal is represented by its Embassy and its Consulate General. Where honorary consuls exist, they have limited powers and do not offer the full range of services of an embassy. Visa, document and other requirements should be confirmed with the Embassy of Nepal in New Delhi or the Consulate General in Kolkata.
