About Jogbani Border, Biratnagar
Jogbani is the last station on the Katihar line and the open border crossing to Biratnagar, Nepal's second city, a few kilometres away. Indians cross on photo ID with no visa, so a day trip for a Nepali lunch and the bazaar is easy. The crossing itself is trucks and dust; the interest is in walking across a national border on foot.
What to see and do
- Walking across the open border
- Biratnagar bazaar and food
- The railway terminus at Jogbani
- Combine with Sultan Pokhar in Forbesganj
