Entry on an Indian passport
Embassy or consulate in advance. Entry only through an approved tour operator, and suspended for long stretches. Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with the embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.
