Here is the short, honest answer: Indian citizens do not need a visa to visit Nepal. Thanks to the long-standing open-border arrangement between India and Nepal, you can enter freely with a valid Indian passport or a Voter ID card issued by the Election Commission — with no visa fee at all. This page lays out exactly what to carry and what to expect, so you can travel with total confidence while we handle the rest of your trip.

Suggested itinerary

Before you go
Check your ID

Confirm your Indian passport or Voter ID is valid and undamaged, and keep a digital and printed copy.

Pack
Carry photos

Slip a few passport-size photographs and copies of your ID into your travel wallet just in case.

For families
Minors' documents

Ensure children have valid photo ID or a birth certificate; a school ID alone may not be sufficient.

On arrival
Enter Nepal

Present your passport or Voter ID at immigration — there is no visa counter or fee for Indian citizens.

During the trip
Keep ID handy

Some hotels, domestic flights and trek permits may ask for your ID, so keep it accessible.

Indicative land-package prices (per person twin-sharing) — international flights are additional and the final quote depends on hotels, season and trek choice. Indians need no visa for Nepal. Share your dates for an exact quote.

Do Indians need a visa for Nepal?

No. Indian citizens do not require a visa to enter Nepal. The two countries share an open border and a special travel arrangement, so you enter simply by proving your identity and Indian nationality. There is no visa application, no online form and no visa fee involved.

Accepted identity documents

You can travel on either of the following:

  • A valid Indian passport
  • A Voter ID (Election Commission of India) card

It is wise to also carry a few passport-size photographs. Documents like a driving licence or PAN card are generally not accepted as proof of nationality, so stick to the passport or Voter ID.

Travelling with children

Minors should carry valid photo identification such as a passport, or a birth certificate if they do not yet have one. Where possible, children should travel with parents or guardians. If a child travels with only one parent or a relative, carrying supporting documents helps smooth the journey.

Entering by air or by land

If you fly, you will typically reach Kathmandu (KTM) from South India with one connection via Delhi or Kolkata. If you cross overland at a border point, the same ID rules apply. Either way, Indian citizens face no Nepal visa formality.

Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
