Pakistan’s petrol and diesel translate to roughly Rs 141 per litre in Indian currency, making it far costlier than India. Nepal is also pricier, while Bhutan is closest to Indian levels.

Nepal Denies Fresh Visa and Stay Rules for Indians, Calls Viral Reports Entirely False and Baseless

Reports citing a 30-day limit were also denied, with officials noting that vehicle entry permits can be issued for 30 days and renewed with fees. Nepal says it is instead improving land-route travel through a new online facilitation system.
