How can I travel from Raxaul to Kathmandu?
From Raxaul, you cross the India–Nepal border at Birgunj and continue to Kathmandu by road. TripSangam meets you at Raxaul, helps with the border formalities and arranges either a private vehicle or a seat on a group tour. The road climbs through the hills into the Kathmandu Valley, and the exact travel time depends on traffic, road and weather conditions, border procedures and your stops — so we plan with comfortable breaks rather than a fixed clock.
Crossing the Raxaul–Birgunj border
Raxaul sits right beside Birgunj, the main entry point into Nepal from Bihar. Indian citizens do not need a visa to enter Nepal, but you should carry a valid photo ID such as a passport or Voter ID. Our team guides you through the crossing so the paperwork stays simple.
The Raxaul to Kathmandu road route
The journey from Birgunj heads north towards the Kathmandu Valley through Nepal's hill country. We choose the route and stops based on the day's road conditions and what suits your group — families and senior travellers usually prefer a relaxed pace with tea and meal breaks.
Pickup options from Raxaul
We can pick you up from Raxaul railway station or a point near the Raxaul–Birgunj border, whichever is convenient. Just tell us your arrival train or time.
Private vehicle or tour package?
A private vehicle lets you set your own pace and stops. A Kathmandu tour package is easier if you would rather have sightseeing and stays arranged for you. We offer both — share your dates and group size and we will recommend the better fit.
Documents Indian travellers should carry
- A valid photo ID — passport or Voter ID
- A few spare ID copies and passport-size photos
- Any personal medicines you need
- Warm layers if you are travelling in winter
How many days do you need in Kathmandu?
Even a short trip lets you see the main temples and old city, while two to three days makes for a relaxed visit. If you would like to add Pokhara, Muktinath or Chitwan, we will extend the plan.
What to see in Kathmandu
Popular places include Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Swayambhunath (the Monkey Temple), Kathmandu Durbar Square and the lanes of Thamel. We can build sightseeing around the places that matter most to you.
