Patna to Nepal- train, car, bus?

After the Thich Hnat Hahn retreat in Bihar in Oct., some of us want to visit Ayodhya, Kushingar, Lumbini, and maybe Chitwan. Do I have to cross the Ganges by auto to then pick up a train to Gorakapur.
It might be easy then to hire a car and driver for a few days to visit these places. Can a car go into Nepal? Or should we just take individual taxis for each leg (if the buses are not convenient)

It depends on from which Railway Station your train is.

From Gorakhpur, take a bus or Taxi to go to the India-Nepal Border Town, called, sunauli. The distance take two hours. After that cross the border, preferably in a Cycle Rickshaw. Reaching Nepal land you can hire the Taxi. Taking an Indian Taxi to Nepal may attract many formalities and checking.
