What calendar does Nepal use?
Nepal officially uses the Bikram Sambat (BS) calendar, a lunisolar Hindu calendar about 56.7 years ahead of the Gregorian (AD) calendar — so 2025 AD falls in 2081–2082 BS. Its new year begins in mid-April (1 Baisakh).
All official dates, holidays and the fiscal year follow Bikram Sambat. Use our date converter to switch between BS and AD.
