The Nepal-India border is open. However, Chinese citizens cannot travel to India visa-free via Nepal. China has asked to pay attention to this as India will impose strict penalties for illegal entry, and has asked to be careful of being cheated as private currency exchange in Nepal is a criminal offense.
It has been advised to never use drones without permission and to seek prior permission from the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation if necessary. Among the five things not to do, it has been warned not to engage in gambling, prostitution or drugs. China has urged its citizens to abide by the laws of both China and Nepal.
