Indians Can Travel Internationally Without a Passport.

What if you could travel abroad without carrying a passport?
It sounds unreal, but for Indian citizens, it is actually possible — under specific conditions.

Thanks to special agreements and arrangements, Indians can visit a few international destinations using only valid government-issued ID. Here’s a quick breakdown.

Nepal

1. Nepal

Nepal is one of the easiest international trips for Indians.

Indian citizens can enter Nepal without a passport by carrying a valid government photo ID. Nepal is famous for its Himalayan views, spiritual sites, and trekking routes. If you enjoy nature and adventure, a Nepal trek is considered a must-do experience.

Bhutan

2. Bhutan

Bhutan also allows Indians to enter without a passport in certain cases.

Land entry is permitted using a valid government ID, but a passport is required if you are flying. Bhutan is known for its peaceful environment, natural beauty, and focus on happiness. It is also a favorite destination of
Virat Kohli, which adds to its popularity.

Kartarpur Sahib Corridor

3. Kartarpur Sahib Corridor (Pakistan)

Kartarpur Sahib Corridor allows Indian citizens to visit a sacred religious site without a passport.

This is not a full entry into Pakistan, but a special corridor that permits Indian pilgrims to visit Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib.

To use the corridor:

  • Online registration is mandatory
  • Prior approval is required
  • Travel is restricted only to the corridor area

This arrangement is purely for religious purposes and does not allow general travel within Pakistan.

Important Reminder

Passport-free travel rules can change at any time. Always verify the latest requirements with official sources and airlines before planning your trip.

These are currently the only passport-free international travel options for Indians.
