@PrinceKumar beautiful picture and well described. Jankipur is also famous for mithila or Madhubani art and embroidery which is done by local village women since the time Sita ji was born. It is a part of their Heritage.

According to my knowledge, you can travel to Nepal with a customs receipt(Bhansar), and you can stay in Nepal for at least 3 days by getting a customs receipt(Bhansar)made at the border office on the Nepal side of the India-Nepal border.
