That would be great–please do. It sounds like it’s open for us to go from India to Nepal, but vice-versa is unknown. Is this right? (“Us” meaning non-Indian/non-Nepali.)

hi, sorry haven’t heard anything. I’ve emailed both Indian immigration and the Nepali Authorities. I’ll let you know if I hear anything.

Yeah, I couldn’t find anything useful for contact info on the Indian side at all! Good luck and look forward to hearing about your crossing. Sarah

Thank you so much for the quick response. I need the contact info for the Indian side, but maybe the Nepali side knows the answer. When I go on Saturday, I will try to get the info and share it with the class.

Thanks again for the informative article. Do you have any idea what the opening hours and days are for the foreigners at the moment? I would call them if I had their phone number, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Hoping to cross it this Saturday afternoon to go to Nepal.

Is there news about this Panitanki-Kakarvitta border crossing. It is open for Europeans to travel from India to Nepal?

I don’t know I’m afraid. The best is to ask at an Indian embassy.
