💡 Travel Tips
💰 Exchange currency at the border itself rather than in advance - you'll get better rates from money changers near the Raxaul-Birgunj crossing, and accommodation costs just ₹300-800 per night in decent guesthouses.
📅 October to March is ideal for visiting Raxaul, when the weather is cool and dry with temperatures ranging from 10-25°C, making border crossings and travel comfortable. Avoid monsoon season (June-September) when heavy rainfall can disrupt transportation and create muddy conditions at the border.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to enter Nepal if traveling for tourism purposes up to 90 days; you'll receive a tourist visa on arrival at the border or airport with a valid passport and passport-sized photograph.
