What would be the best route to take from Neapal heading for Varanasi? Looking through google maps it seems to me that going to Bahairava cross the border to Nautanwa would make sense.
Anyone had any experiences or could recommend a better route to take? We can stand some hassle, but enough is enough

What is the paperwork process like at Indian immigration office at the Kakravitta-Panitanki crossing for non-indians. Is there much hassle, questioning, etc.? Are the officers competent or do they take hours trying to figure out your visa status?
I have a relatively short connection time (3 hours) between my flight arrival in Bhadrapur, Nepal and departure in Bagdogra, India so I worry about getting held-up at the border.

Immigration Office Hours Kakravitta & Panitanki
Two questions
1) My American friend and I will be crossing the Nepal-India border. Are there specific hours that the Immigration offices are open on either side. We might be crossing late at night or early morning thus are worried that Immigration will be closed and we might be stuck for a few hours
2) Will Taxis/Jeeps agree to take us to Gangtok in the evenings at a decent rate?
We are planning to leave Kakravitta around 7PM for Sikkim, meaning we will arrive there around 11PM.
Our second option is to spend the night in Kakravitta and depart early morning around 6AM, but we are worried that the Immigration Office might not open until a few hours later and we have an important arrangement in Gangtok that afternoon.

I'm a little unclear about your questions. How are you getting to the border & from where in Nepal are you starting?Maybe you could give a few more details of your route & plans. How much time are you planning for this whole journey?
I definitely would not plan anything on a tight schedule since there are many unexpected things that can interrupt your journey.
I think the borders do still close at night but I cannot find anything about this. Maybe someone else can tell you. You probably can find a taxi to Gangtok but I'm sure it will be expensive if you take it from the border. They know they've got you if you need to get somewhere!
I also think it's longer than 4 hrs. from the border to Gangtok, but maybe someone else can add to this.

I crossed this border a couple of times. It's quite messy and sometimes difficult to understand where to report and what is expected. Actually, it would probably be easy to go through without being checked, as Indian and Nepali citizens can pas it freely. But don't take a chance and make sure to get your exit stamp, as well as you entry stamp, or you might be into trouble when you leave again the country if you don't have these.
