Indian Railways transports millions of passengers daily, and the Indian Railways network is the third largest in the world, traversing every corner of the country. This railway system passes through picturesque hills, along rivers, and along the coast.
There is a railway station in India from which one can walk into a neighboring country. Since the country's border runs near this station, it can be crossed simply by walking. This station is located in the state of Bihar.
This station, also known as the last railway station in Bihar and the country, is very close to the border with Nepal. The station's name is Jogbani. From here, one can get off the train and walk just 2 kilometers to cross the Indo-Nepalese border.
This station is not only the last stop on the Indian Railways network but also an unofficial frontier between India and its neighboring country, Nepal. The station is part of the North Frontier Railway (NFR), and its feature is that the border with Nepal is just a few steps away.
Jogbani station holds special significance for both tourists and local residents due to its proximity to the border. Officially, the distance to the Nepalese border is about 2 kilometers, which is easily covered on foot.
Thanks to friendly relations between Nepal and India, as well as open border policies, Indian citizens do not require a visa or passport to travel to Nepal. This is why this station has become a popular entry point.
Since strict border control is not conducted here, local residents move freely between the countries to carry out daily tasks and conduct trade.
