The only international airport in Nepal is the Tribhuvan International

to India from where Nepal can be easily accessed by air.
By Road - Regular buses operate between Nepal and India
which are very popular among the travellers visiting Nepal. There are
different routes to Nepal from India. The sunauli border is convenient for
those coming from Delhi or Varanasi, the Birganj crossing is used by
people coming from Calcutta and Kakarbhitta is the obvious choice for
people coming in from Darjeeling. You could choose from these depending
