The Crossing
One of the simplest borders on this entire site: no visa, no passport even required for Indian citizens — an Aadhar card is enough to cross. Sunauli sits on the Indian (Uttar Pradesh) side, Belahiya on the Nepal side, about 3km south of Siddharthanagar (Bhairahawa), which has its own domestic airport for onward flights into Nepal.
Practical Tips
Indian nationals can cross on an Aadhar card alone — no passport or visa needed, a genuine rarity compared to every other border on this site.
Bhairahawa's airport is a practical option for onward domestic flights into Nepal if not continuing entirely overland.
