Yes...
Hi mate,
It's possible to ride from India into Nepal, the border at Sunali (day's ride from Varanassai) or Mahendragar (near Delhi) are the easiest way. You have to pay an "import tax" at the border, but this is easy to avoid, especially at Sunali. Why would you ship a bike by train? You can pick up a decent Enfield in Delhi or Nepal (let me know if you're interested and I'll give you contact details for Nepal) I've just returned from 6 weeks in Nepal and I've uploaded a video of me and a mate in Kathmandu on an Enfield. YouTube - Thamel By Bullet Feel free to ask any questions. Aidan

Perhaps you can get a double-entry visa?
