Nepali Patro — Bikram Sambat Calendar with Public Holidays

About the Nepali Bikram Sambat Calendar
This is a full month-by-month Bikram Sambat calendar (sometimes searched for as "Nepali patro" or "BS calendar 2083"), showing every date's matching English (AD) date directly underneath it, the weekly holiday marked, and official government public holidays highlighted for BS 2083 (2026/27 AD).
The weekly holiday: Saturday, plus Sunday from 6 April 2026
Nepal's government made Sunday a public holiday too, on top of the long-standing Saturday holiday, by Cabinet decision effective Chaitra 23, 2082 BS (6 April 2026 AD) — introduced as an austerity and fuel-conservation measure for government offices and educational institutions. This calendar reflects that accurately by date: browsing months before 6 April 2026 shows Saturday only as the weekly holiday (what was actually in effect then), while months from that date onward show both Saturday and Sunday. Since this was a Cabinet decision rather than permanent legislation, it's possible it could change again; this page will be updated if it does.
Where the named-holiday data comes from
Nepal's public holidays — Dashain, Tihar, Maghe Sankranti, Holi, Constitution Day, the various Lhosars, and more — are published annually by the Nepal Gazette via the Ministry of Home Affairs notice. This calendar's BS 2083 holiday list is sourced directly from that notice and checked date-by-date against the corresponding AD dates, rather than estimated.
Who this is for
- Government offices and HR departments planning leave calendars around Nepal's public holidays
- Anyone scheduling events, weddings, or travel around Dashain and Tihar dates
- Students and professionals who think in BS dates day to day but need the AD equivalent at a glance
Upcoming holidays, at a glance
Below the calendar grid, an upcoming public holidays list shows the next several holidays with a countdown, so you don't have to scan the whole month to see what's coming up.

Why are both Saturday and Sunday marked as holidays now?
Nepal's government made Sunday a public holiday too, on top of the existing Saturday holiday, by Cabinet decision effective Chaitra 23, 2082 BS (6 April 2026 AD) — an austerity and fuel-conservation measure for government offices and educational institutions. This calendar reflects that: dates from 6 April 2026 onward show both Saturday and Sunday as the weekly holiday, while earlier dates correctly show Saturday only, matching what was actually in effect at the time.

Can I see holidays for other BS years?
