Indian citizens do not need a Nepal visa. For entry, Nepal immigration currently states that a valid Indian passport is acceptable and that Indian citizens without a passport may also enter using a voter card. For minors without a passport, Nepal immigration states that entry permission can be obtained through a birth registration certificate. For air travel, the Embassy of Nepal in New Delhi specifically lists a valid Indian passport or voter ID for Indian nationals. Because airlines and border situations can introduce practical document checks, carry original government-issued documents and verify the latest official guidance shortly before departure.
