Happy 2081
Did you know that the official calendar used in Nepal is the Bikram Sambat or Vikram Samvat calendar, which is 56 years and 8 months ahead of the western calendar. Each year begins on the first day of the month Baisakh, which usually falls on April 13th or 14th in the western calendar.
To convert a Nepali date to a Gregorian date:
Subtract – 56 Years – 8 Months – 17 Days. There are 12 months, but the number of days in each month changes each year and can go up to 32. This means there is no need for a leap year.
