Understand

Rasuwa Fort serves as the border-crossing point on the Nepali side, located just before the bridge leading to China. However, it consists only of a few buildings dedicated to Nepali immigration checks. Travelers will encounter the village of Timere/Piding, approximately 2 km before the border, which houses the Nepali immigration offices. It is here that passports are stamped for entry or exit. Additionally, a handful of guesthouses and charming small restaurants await you in this village, providing a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.
