I’ve seen that thousands of people have travelled through South Asia by road, crossing multiple borders.
The information I have so far tells me that it is not permitted to enter India by road on either an e-visa or a paper visa (information from the Indian Consulate and also the Indian Government website).
We plan a trip next year on which we’ll visit India, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka; the 90 day limit per entry to India means that we’ll have to plan to leave and re-enter several times, and the requirement to enter India only by air (or at a few ports) means that we are going to have buy a lot of flights. We’ve already concluded that the cost of shipping our own vehicle to South Asia makes it impractical, so we currently plan to travel with a combination of hired vehicles, trains, and public transport.
The prohibition of land border crossing, couple with the fact that there are no flights between Pakistan and India means that to go (for example) from Lahore to Amritsar (about 50 km in a straight line) means flying from Lahore to Dubai and then from Dubai to Amritsar - 4000 km, with air fares to match!
