Today is Bhadra 29, 2083 BS (२९ भदौ २०८३), Monday 14 September 2026, in Nepal.
How the Nepali calendar works
Bikram Sambat is a solar calendar. A month begins when the Sun enters a sign of the sidereal zodiac, so the months are not fixed at 30 or 31 days: they run from 29 to 32 days, and a month's length changes from year to year. The year begins on Baisakh 1, which falls on 13 or 14 April. The count runs about 56 years and 8 months ahead of the Gregorian calendar, so the English year 2026 spans 2082 and 2083 BS.
Because the month lengths vary, there is no arithmetic shortcut for converting a date. This converter carries the month lengths for every year from 1970 to 2090 BS, 13 April 1913 to 13 April 2034, and counts days from the start of that table.

Questions about the Nepali date
What is Bikram Sambat?
Bikram Sambat, written BS, is the official calendar of Nepal. It runs about 56 years and 8 months ahead of the Gregorian calendar, so April 2026 falls in 2083 BS. It is a solar calendar: each month begins when the Sun enters a sign of the sidereal zodiac, which is why months run from 29 to 32 days.
How do I convert a Nepali date to an English date?
Choose the Nepali year, month and day above with "Nepali to English" selected. The English date and its weekday appear at once. There is no formula to do it by hand, since the month lengths change from year to year; the converter uses a table of the true month lengths.
How do I convert an English date to a Nepali date?
Select "English to Nepali" and enter the English date. The converter gives the Bikram Sambat date in English letters and in Nepali script, with the weekday in both.
When does the Nepali new year begin?
On Baisakh 1, which falls on 13 or 14 April in the English calendar. The day is Nepal's New Year holiday and the start of the fiscal and school year in most of the country.
Which years does this converter cover?
From 1970 BS (13 April 1913) to 2090 BS (13 April 2034). Month lengths beyond that are not yet fixed, so dates past 2090 BS are not converted.
Is the Nepali date the same as the Hindu calendar date?
No. The Nepali date is solar and is used for civil life in Nepal. Festivals and fasts follow the lunar tithi, which the Hindu calendar on this site lists for every day with the panchang.
