Nepal Tour Packages From Kolkata
Natives of West Bengal, and neighboring states near Kolkata city, prefer to plan their Nepal tour packages from Kolkata.

The most frequently used border in this option is Birganj because Raxaul railway station is connected by a direct train from Kolkata, but the Sonauli border is better because Gorakhpur is connected to Kolkata by multiple train options & a direct flight from Kolkata which operates daily once a day. Above that, if you travel via Gorakhpur you can add Gorakhnath Math (Yogi Adityanath) & Lumbini (Birth Place of Lord Buddha) to your itinerary without increasing any day hence no increase in the total tour cost.

If you are an Indian citizen then you don’t need VISA to enter Nepal either by Air OR by Road. But if you are a PIO card holder (Person of Indian Origin) then you must get VISA before entering Nepal in any which way.
For any Indian citizen, voter’s ID card & passport are the only documents that prove your nationality as Indian, the rest of other documents like an ADHAR card, PAN Card, or any other such cards is considered as your proof of identity.
So, as the rule says Indian citizens don’t require VISA, so you have to prove that you are an Indian & for this you must carry either voter’s ID Card OR a passport (both in original, xerox copy not accepted).
However, kids of age below 12 years & elders above 65 years are exempted from this rule; they can travel on ADHAR Card provided they are traveling in a group with people who have either voter’s ID cards OR passports. This means if someone travels to Nepal with their kids & parents & these people do not have voter’s ID card OR passport they can enter Nepal on an ADHAR card provided the master passengers have voter’s ID OR passport.

Indian currency notes of Rs 2000 & Rs 500 are not acceptable within Nepal, but these currency notes can be tendered at money exchange counters to buy Nepali currency. (Conversion Rate: 1 Indian Rupee (IC) = 1.60 Nepali Rupee (NC)).
Yes, debit cards & credit cards issued in India (VISA, Master, Maestro) are accepted at mostly POS (Point of sale) and almost every ATM. But, it is mentioned on the back side of some of these cards “Not for use in Nepal & Bhutan”, so all such cards are not valid for transactions in Nepal.
As a proud Indian, now you can also use a RuPay Debit card in Nepal, as Nepal has become the 4th country after Singapore, UAE & Bhutan to accept the use of RuPay cards.
But we recommend you to use debit OR credit only in case of emergency, as your bank in India will charge you for every transaction in Nepal & charges varies from bank to bank & type of cards. So, before traveling check with your bank regarding international charges.
No, none of these online payment transfer platforms work in Nepal. They cannot be used for making payments in Nepal, because these are linked with your Indian Banks & when you are in Nepal all your transactions would be International transfers & these platforms do not support international payments.
Nepal also has similar kinds of platforms, & one of those is FonePay. So please do not get confused with Indian PhonePay, these two are different platforms.
However, Gateway Payment Service, a payment system operator licensed by Nepal Rastra Bank is working on a plan where Indians can use Google Pay & PayTM to pay in Nepal & Nepalis can use their e-Sewa & Khalti to make payments in India.
You can get your Indian Rupee exchanged for Nepali Rupee at local banks in Nepal for the best currency exchange value.

You can make use of your Indian number to make & receive calls from Nepal. Calling charges & data depends on the type of pack provided by your mobile operator, so check it before activating.
We recommend you buy a local Nepali SIM (which costs around INR 200) when you are in Nepal & use this Nepali number to make calls out of Nepal, because in some cases even after activating your international roaming, calling charges may be very high, whereas calling from Nepal to India using Nepali SIM is as low as INR2.50/minute (charges may vary from operator to operator).
