The open Indo-Nepal border fosters strong ties, cultural exchange, and economic growth, but it also introduces significant security challenges. The absence of visa and passport requirements, while enabling free movement, heightens the risk of illicit trade, unauthorized activities, and difficulty in monitoring cross-border movements.

Increased risk of unauthorized trade activities across open borders.
Difficulty in monitoring and regulating cross-border movements.
Potential exploitation of open channels for unauthorized activities.
Balancing security measures with the freedom of movement.
