Best Answer

If you acquired the US citizenship by naturalization, you are not a Nepalese citizen anymore:

Article 9 Termination of Nepali Citizenship

(1) The Nepali citizenship of any Nepali citizen shall automatically lapse on his acquiring the citizenship of any foreign country of his own will.

And thus you cannot legally use the Nepali passport. While the implementation of such provisions is often questionable[*], having some experience with Indian immigration I'd expect at least major hassle.

[*] India, for example, has the same provision in law. But in reality one has to go through a special procedure to surrender the Indian passport, which also costs $175.
