so if i understand it correctly, i could leave nepal visit india, but at some point, once the CdP is ready I should go back to nepal and get into India with the stamp, right?
Correct, the CDP took about a week after we had paid the money.
They most certainly did ask for the CDP both leaving India ( took about 3 hrs to clear customs, with all paperwork in order) and entering Pak. I have also met overlanders at Taftan (Iran/Pak border) who didn't have CDP and were forced to buy of touts at the border (asking 1000 USD) as they were point blank refused entry without one.
UB.
