Is it true that most foreign visitors to Nepal need a passport, but Indian citizens may enter with other identity documents?

Yes. A Wikipedia article on Nepal's visa policy states that all visitors must have a passport valid for at least six months, while Indian citizens do not require a visa and may enter using either an Indian passport or a Voter ID card with photo. This directly supports the claim that most foreign visitors need a passport but Indian citizens may use other identity documents.
