Nepal has approved both the India-made vaccines Covishield and Covaxin. Any Indian citizen fully vaxxed with these two vaccines is allowed to enter the country, but the last dose of the vaccine must be taken at least 14 days before entering Nepal.
On the other hand, the Nepal government had also removed the mandatory quarantine for fully vaccinated travellers. The step was taken to boost tourism in the country. Not only this, the government had also resumed the on-arrival visa facility.
As of now, 110 countries have agreed to recognise the COVID-19 vaccination certificates with India.
