The short answer
Yes. Cities along the southern border such as Biratnagar, Birgunj, Bhairahawa, Nepalgunj and Dhangadhi have hotels and are used for business meetings with partners from India. They are reached by road from across the border and by domestic flights from Kathmandu.
They can suit one-day or two-day meetings and can combine well with a pilgrimage or wildlife visit, such as Lumbini near Bhairahawa or Bardia near Nepalgunj. Check hotel and meeting-room facilities in advance, as they vary from city to city.
