Nepal-India- which border crossings are open?

Hi

Spoke to an Auzzie coming west, in Turkmenistan, and he said he could only enter India from Nepal via one border crossing, the others were closed due to local violence.

Does anyone have any up to date information on which borders are open?

Many thanks

Fern

Absolutely no problem with fuel . I just returned from 12 days motorcycle tour of Nepal. Petrol is available easily no need to carry with bike. Rate varies from 123 to 125 NC (Nepal currency). You can pay in IC (indian currency) everywhere. Just divide/multiply by 1.6

We entered and exited from Dhangadi. I returned yesterday.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
