Official wording

Indian citizens do not require a visa to enter Nepal.

Aevamo’s reading

The Immigration Act 2049 (consolidated through the 2072 amendment), section 3(1), creates the obligation itself: no foreigner may enter or stay in Nepal without a passport and visa. Section 3(2) delegates visa types, fees and related arrangements to rules, and the Department of Immigration's current visa pages are the operative implementation a traveller is actually governed by; the Rules 2051 (rule 3) confirm the Government's discretion and reciprocity-based exemption power without naming any additional nationality.

The Department of Immigration states directly that Indian citizens do not require a visa, so India is outside the visa-entry regime entirely and nothing must be arranged in advance.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions

Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
