Nepal Tourism Board Sets the Record Straight on Border Policies

Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) has formally categorized all rumors concerning new restrictions on Indian tourists as "false, baseless, and misleading." In an official statement addressing widespread digital misinformation, the NTB reaffirmed that no changes have been made to the established bilateral understandings or the open-border policy shared between Nepal and India. The Board emphasized that the government continues to value the historical and cultural ties that drive tourism between the two nations. Furthermore, the NTB clarified that recent administrative changes—specifically the Department of Customs' new digital system for land-entry vehicles—were misconstrued by some media outlets. Far from being a restrictive policy, this digital module is a service-oriented enhancement that provides travelers with a streamlined, paperless process for obtaining temporary entry permits. The Board continues to encourage both domestic and international stakeholders to verify travel updates exclusively through official government channels.
