The 1,751-kilometer border shared by Nepal and India allows for the free movement of people and goods, without the requirement of visas or passports. This unique arrangement is a direct result of the Treaty of Peace and Friendship signed in 1950. This treaty, even after 75 years, remains a cornerstone of the relationship between the two nations. The border touches the Indian states of Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Sikkim, and West Bengal. The treaty has enabled significant trade and cultural exchange between the two countries, facilitating daily interactions and economic activities for citizens on both sides.
