The most popular overland crossing between India and Nepal are Sunauli-Bhairawa, Raxaul-Birgunj, Kakarbhitta-Siliguri, and Jogbani-Biratnagar. All these border points are easily accessible by popular means of transport. Our list mentions about 22 border check-posts on India-Nepal border which tourists can use for crossing. Have a look.
Personally I have used Banbasa-Mahendranagar, Raxaul-Birganj & Jogbani-Biratnagar on my trips. The picture shown on the top of the article is from the Raxaul-Birganj border checkpost. I have done road trips on a bike from Delhi to different places in Nepal via Banbasa crossing. Most of the crossings are old styled and lack modern facilities. Also, corruption is a problem. Officials may harass you if you do not carry proper documents. Never forget to carry the important documents required to enter Nepal with own vehicle.
