Now, Indians under 15 and over 65 can use Aadhaar as a valid travel document to visit two countries, Nepal and Bhutan are in this list. An Indian citizen who wants to travel these two countries doesn't need a VISA with them. They only need a valid passport, an election id card or a photo identity card issued by the government.
All the people of India who are covered in these age groups(under 15 and over 65) are able to use Aadhaar as a travelling document. But who are not covered in this age group are not allowed to use this travelling document as they do. One more thing is important, this phenomenon is valid only in the travelling between the countries Nepal and Bhutan.
These all updates are from the Home Ministry communique issued recently.
Earlier Indian citizens over 65 and under 15 had to show some relevant identity proofs like their driving licence PAN card, Ration card and etc. but not Aadhaar. Now, the Aadhaar is also added as a valid travelling document for travelling between these two countries. This whole information is explained by a Home Ministry Official.

The official also said that the certificate of registration issued by the Embassy of India, Kathmandu, to the Indian citizens is not a valid travelling document to travel between India and Nepal.
But an emergency certificate with an identity certificate that issued by the Indian Embassy in Nepal will valid a single journey of coming back to India.
One more option for teens between 15 and 18. They can travel between India and Nepal with the help of an identity certificate that is issued by the Headteacher or principal of their school. This certificate must be in the prescribed form.
