Crossing the Nepal border at Raxaul is straightforward. Indian and Nepali nationals do not need a passport or visa — a valid government photo ID (Aadhaar, Voter ID, Passport or Driving Licence) is accepted at the Raxaul-Birgunj checkpoint. Carry two photocopies of your ID to speed things up. Foreign nationals need a passport with at least six months validity and can obtain a Nepal visa on arrival at the Birgunj immigration office (bring passport photos and the visa fee in USD or NPR). Our driver will point you to the immigration counters on both the Indian and Nepali sides so nothing is missed.
The most pleasant months for the Gorakhpur to Raxaul run are October to March, when the weather is cool and skies are clear. During the monsoon (July-September) the Gandak-belt roads near Bagaha can slow down after heavy rain, so allow extra time. Start early if you plan to continue to Kathmandu the same day, since the hill road from Birgunj takes 6-7 hours on top of your border drive. Keep some Nepali currency handy for small purchases in Birgunj, and confirm your onward Nepal cab with us in advance so there is no waiting at the crossing.
Raxaul-Birgunj is the classic entry point for central Nepal. Pilgrims heading to Janakpur (the birthplace of Sita and home to the Janaki Mandir) find it the shortest gateway at around 90 km. Travellers bound for Kathmandu continue via the Tribhuvan or Hetauda-Kanti highway, while those going to Pokhara route through Narayanghat. We can plan your entire itinerary — Gorakhpur to Raxaul on our cab, and a comfortable Nepal-registered vehicle onward — in a single booking.
