Nepali Calendar 2083 Overview

Nepali Calendar 2083 BS: The Complete Guide

Bikram Sambat 2083 runs from Baisakh 1, 2083 (Tuesday, April 14, 2026) to Chaitra 30, 2083 (Sunday, April 13, 2027). Unlike some years, 2083 carries no Adhik Mas (intercalary leap month), making it a clean 365-day year across 12 standard months. For leave planners, wedding coordinators, and business schedulers, this single-year clarity is a practical advantage: no extra month shifts dates forward unexpectedly.

The two defining festivals are Dashain (घटस्थापना on October 11, Vijaya Dashami on October 20) and Tihar (Laxmi Puja on November 8, Bhai Tika on November 10). The wedding season spans five months, with a peak of 12 auspicious sait dates in Falgun alone. Government offices observe more than 30 gazetted holidays, with the longest single break being the seven-day Dashain block from October 17 through October 23.

The panchang tradition underlying the Bikram Sambat calendar is the Surya Siddhanta: an ancient solar astronomical system calibrated to Nepal Standard Time (UTC+5:45). Each month starts when the Sun crosses a specific threshold within its Nakshatra arc. This is why Nepali months do not begin on predictable Gregorian dates and why 2083 Ashadh has 32 days while Mangsir and Magh carry only 29. All dates on this page are verified against the official 2083 holiday list published by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the NCHL gazetted calendar.

Month by Month

The 2083 Cultural Pulse: All 12 Nepali Months

Each Nepali month carries its own emotional temperature, ritual calendar, and agricultural rhythm. These notes go beyond date lists to capture the lived experience of each month in 2083 BS.

Baisakh (बैशाख) 2083

31 days · Apr 14 to May 14, 2026

The year cracks open on a Tuesday. By 5:30 AM the lanes of Bhaktapur are already electric with Bisket Jatra preparations and chariot rope rituals. In Kathmandu's Asan Tole, the morning smells of newari sweets and oil lamps lit for the new year puja. On Baisakh 1, the Sun enters Mesh Rashi (Aries), marking the solar Mesh Sankranti that underlies the entire Nepali civil year according to the Surya Siddhanta tradition. This is both a national holiday and a sacred solar moment.

Baisakh 18 (May 1) packs three public holidays onto one Friday: May Day (international workers), Buddha Jayanti (pilgrimage to Swayambhunath and Boudha), and Ubhauli (Kirat community's spring planting festival). Hotels in Bhaktapur and along the Araniko Highway sell out in advance for this Friday-to-Sunday stretch. Pre-monsoon heat builds toward month-end.

For wedding planners: Baisakh 2083 carries 8 auspicious marriage sait dates in two windows, Baisakh 7-8 (April 20-21) and Baisakh 22-25 (May 5-8), plus Baisakh 30-31 (May 13-14). A strong opening for families who could not secure a Falgun 2082 venue.

New Year: Apr 14 Buddha Jayanti: May 1 8 sait dates

Jestha (जेठ) 2083

31 days · May 15 to Jun 14, 2026

Jestha means "eldest" and it earns that title through sheer relentlessness: the hottest month of the year. Kathmandu Valley traps heat and Terai districts touch 40 degrees Celsius. Rato Machhindranath's chariot completes its long circuit from Lagankhel to Jawalakhel in Lalitpur. The Bhoto Jatra ceremony, the public display of the jewelled vest attended by the President, typically occurs in Jestha and signals the chariot's journey is nearly complete.

Jestha 15 (May 29, Friday) is Republic Day (गणतन्त्र दिवस), marking the abolition of the monarchy in 2065 BS. Since it falls on a Friday in 2083, it creates a natural three-day weekend. Plan travel to Pokhara on Friday evening for a Saturday morning by the lakeside before the monsoon changes the sky for good. No marriage sait dates fall in Jestha 2083. The month closes as moisture builds and the first monsoon Tithi forecasts appear in the panchang.

Republic Day: May 29 (Fri) No sait dates

Ashadh (असार) 2083

32 days · Jun 15 to Jul 16, 2026

The monsoon arrives. When the first sustained rain hits the Mahabharat hills, Ashadh begins in full cultural force. Ashadh 15 (June 29) is Ropai Diwas, National Paddy Day: farmers plant rice seedlings in flooded terraces, work songs called Ashare fill the hillside air, and it is a tradition in many families to drag elders into the paddy field regardless of their objections. Dal-bhat with fresh gundruk tastes different on this day.

Ashadh brings Guru Purnima (Ashadh Purnima, approximately July 10, 2026): the full moon on which students offer respect to their teachers and the sage Vyasa. The hills are vivid green by Ashadh 20; Himalayan peaks disappear behind cloud for the season. Ashadh carries 7 marriage sait dates: Ashadh 9 (Jun 23), 13-15 (Jun 27-29), 17-18 (Jul 1-2), and 23 (Jul 7). Monsoon weddings carry a traditional auspiciousness in Tantric tradition.

Guru Purnima: ~Jul 10 7 sait dates

Shrawan (श्रावण) 2083

31 days · Jul 17 to Aug 16, 2026

Shrawan belongs to Shiva. Every Monday (Shrawan Sombar) draws devotees to Pashupatinath before first light: the queue at the Arya Ghat entrance stretches past the iron bridge before 4 AM. Women in fresh red sarees carry bilva leaves, datura flowers, and milk. The first Shrawan Sombar in 2083 falls on July 20; there are four Shrawan Mondays (July 20, 27, August 3, and August 10). The hills are at peak green, rivers run brown and full.

Nag Panchami (serpent deity worship) falls around Shrawan 14 (approximately July 30), when families paste Naga images above their doorways and offer milk and beaten rice. For trekkers this is the risk-reward monsoon window: leeches on the trail, but vivid landscapes, half-empty guesthouses, and rivers at their most photogenic. No government holidays and no marriage sait dates in Shrawan 2083, but spiritually it is one of the richest months of the year.

4 Shrawan Mondays Nag Panchami: ~Jul 30 No sait dates

Bhadra (भदौ) 2083

31 days · Aug 17 to Sep 16, 2026

Bhadra is Nepal's women's month by cultural weight. Three significant events define it. Janai Purnima (Bhadra 12, August 28, Friday): Brahmin and Chhetri men change their sacred Janai thread while siblings tie raksha. At Gosainkunda lake (4,380 m), thousands bathe in the icy sacred water. This falls on a Friday, extending through Sunday August 30. Gaura Parva (Bhadra 19, September 4, Friday) is a major fasting festival for women of Sudur-Paschim Province, a third consecutive Friday holiday in this stretch.

Haritalika Teej (Bhadra 29, September 14, Monday): Parvati's festival. Women dress in red, fast without water, sing and dance through the night, and pray at Pashupatinath from before dawn. The visual drama of thousands of women in crimson sarees filling the temple grounds is unmatched in South Asia. No marriage sait dates in Bhadra: the month's fasting culture makes it traditionally unsuitable for weddings.

Janai Purnima: Aug 28 (Fri) Gaura Parva: Sep 4 (Fri) Teej: Sep 14 (Mon)

Ashwin (आश्विन) 2083

31 days · Sep 17 to Oct 17, 2026

The post-monsoon clarity arrives. The sky turns cobalt blue. On a clear Ashwin morning from Nagarkot or Dhulikhel, the full Himalayan arc from Dhaulagiri to Kangchenjunga appears as a white wall across the northern horizon. Marigolds bloom orange-gold in every farm garden, grown deliberately for Dashain garlands. This is the single best trekking month: clear skies, dry trails, no extreme cold.

Constitution Day falls on Ashwin 3 (September 19, Saturday). Jitiya Parwa (Ashwin 18, October 4, Sunday) is a critical women's fasting festival in Madhesi communities: mothers fast without water for a full day, praying for their children's long life. Then comes Ghatasthapana (Ashwin 25, October 11, Sunday): families wake before sunrise to perform the Kalash puja, sow barley seeds (jamara), and begin the 10-day Dashain countdown. Tailors work until midnight. Khasi goats arrive at market.

Constitution Day: Sep 19 Ghatasthapana: Oct 11 (Sun) No sait dates

Kartik (कार्तिक) 2083

30 days · Oct 18 to Nov 16, 2026

No month in the Nepali year is as electrically charged as Kartik 2083. In the first week: Vijaya Dashami (Tika Day, October 20). In the third week: Tihar (Laxmi Puja, November 8). The Valley glitters at night from diya lamps; the air smells of marigolds, incense, and firecrackers; every bus route in and out of Kathmandu sells out for three consecutive weeks. Between the two festivals, bazaars fill with Tihar shopping: oil for lamps, marigold garlands, new diyas, sweets for Bhai Tika.

A culturally significant detail about Kartik 2083: Laxmi Puja falls on Sunday, November 8. In most years the main Tihar night falls mid-week, creating tension between elaborate preparation and early office deadlines. In 2083, families can prepare all day Saturday and celebrate through Sunday night without a 9 AM meeting waiting. The government holiday block runs Sunday through Thursday November 8-12. For the tourism economy, the convenience is enormous.

Vijaya Dashami: Oct 20 (Tue) Laxmi Puja: Nov 8 (Sun) Bhai Tika: Nov 10 (Tue)

Mangsir (मंसिर) 2083

29 days · Nov 17 to Dec 15, 2026

After two months of festival intensity, Mangsir arrives with crisp autumn air and the smell of harvested rice straw. The hills around Kathmandu turn amber-gold. This is the peak of Nepal's wedding season: 8 auspicious dates cluster across two tight windows. Mangsir 9-10 (November 25-26) and Mangsir 24-26 (December 10-12) are the most sought-after dates, with venues in Kathmandu fully booked months in advance. In our 2083 local research, we noted that December 10-12 is the most intensely contested three-day window of the entire year.

Vivah Panchami falls in Mangsir: the celestial wedding anniversary of Ram and Sita, celebrated with extraordinary pageantry at Janaki Temple in Janakpur. It draws pilgrims and spectators from Nepal and India for one of the most visually spectacular religious ceremonies in the Terai. Mangsir 2083 has slightly fewer sait days than previous years, increasing demand pressure on each available date.

8 sait dates Vivah Panchami at Janakpur

Poush (पौष) 2083

30 days · Dec 16, 2026 to Jan 14, 2027

Nepal's quietest month by festival count. The Terai is at its most beautiful: haze-free winter mornings reveal the Dhaulagiri range from Butwal, mustard fields flower yellow between harvested rice stubble, and Kathmandu nights drop to 3-5 degrees Celsius. The cultural density is surprising for such a cold month. Three observer-community holidays anchor Poush: Yomari Punhi and Dhanya Purnima (December 24), Christmas (December 25), and Tamu Lhosar (December 30).

Yomari, rice flour dumplings filled with molasses and sesame, are distributed family to family in Newar communities on the Poush full moon. Tamu Lhosar is the Gurung New Year, celebrated most elaborately in Pokhara with traditional dress and Ghatu dance. Poush 27 (January 11, 2027, Monday) is Prithvi Jayanti, commemorating the birth anniversary of Prithvi Narayan Shah. No marriage sait in Poush.

Christmas: Dec 25 Tamu Lhosar: Dec 30 Prithvi Jayanti: Jan 11

Magh (माघ) 2083

29 days · Jan 15 to Feb 12, 2027

The year turns in Magh. Magh 1 (January 15, Friday) is Maghe Sankranti (माघे संक्रान्ति): the Sun enters Makar Rashi (Capricorn), and families wake before dawn to eat the ritual feast of sesame (til), jaggery (chaku), yam (tarul), sweet potato, and ghee. Then elders take a sacred dip at river confluences. Devghat Triveni near Chitwan draws 100,000 or more pilgrims on this single day. Magh 1 falling on a Friday creates a natural three-day weekend running January 15-17.

Magh 24 (February 7, Sunday) is Sonam Lhosar: the Tamang community's New Year, celebrated with Tamang Selo music and community feasting in Helambu, Rasuwa, and across the Tamang belt. Six marriage sait dates are available: Magh 4 (January 18), 12 (January 26), 15 (January 29), 19 (February 2), 20 (February 3), and 27 (February 10). Magh weddings are characteristically indoor cold-season affairs with heater-equipped halls.

Maghe Sankranti: Jan 15 (Fri) Sonam Lhosar: Feb 7 6 sait dates

Falgun (फाल्गुन) 2083

30 days · Feb 13 to Mar 14, 2027

Spring arrives and Falgun becomes the year's most significant month for wedding planners: 12 auspicious sait dates from Falgun 3 (February 15) to Falgun 30 (March 14). This concentration is not coincidental. In the Surya Siddhanta framework, Falgun falls as the Sun moves through Kumbha Rashi (Aquarius) toward Meen (Pisces), a period rated ideal for bibaha muhurta. No major fasting festival falls in Falgun 2083. Venue operators in Kathmandu report that Falgun 15-20 (February 27 to March 4) is their most heavily booked window of any year.

Three additional events make Falgun culturally rich. Maha Shivaratri (Falgun 22, March 6, Saturday): the great night of Shiva, with Sadhus converging on Pashupatinath from across South Asia. International Women's Day (Falgun 24, March 8, Monday) is a holiday for women employees. Gyalpo Lhosar (Falgun 25, March 9, Tuesday): the Sherpa and Tibetan New Year, celebrated most magnificently at Boudhanath Stupa with butter lamp offerings and cham dance.

12 sait dates (peak month) Shivaratri: Mar 6 (Sat) Gyalpo Lhosar: Mar 9

Chaitra (चैत्र) 2083

30 days · Mar 15 to Apr 13, 2027

The year ends in color. Fagu Purnima (Chaitra 7, March 21, Sunday) is Nepal's Holi: in the Pahad regions the celebration falls on this date, while the Terai observes Holika Dahan one night earlier. Kathmandu's streets fill with colored powder (abir), water balloons, and Holi music from morning. The Teej fasting, the Dashain sacrifice, the Tihar lamp-light: all of it has led to this explosion of color that marks the year's serious ritual obligations winding down.

Ram Navami is observed in mid-Chaitra at Janakpur, where Janaki Mandir hosts one of the most photogenic Ram puja ceremonies in the subcontinent. Ghode Jatra (Horse Racing Festival at Tundikhel) marks the defeat of the demon Tundi, attended by the head of state by tradition. Bisket Jatra in Bhaktapur begins its preparations in Chaitra 30, creating a seamless transition into 2084 BS. No marriage sait in Chaitra 2083.

Holi: Mar 21 (Sun) Ram Navami at Janakpur No sait dates

Festival Deep-Dive

Dashain 2083 (दशैं): Full Timeline from Ghatasthapana to Kojagrat

Dashain is Nepal's longest and most anticipated festival: 15 days that begin with the planting of barley seeds and end on the full moon of Kartik. In 2083, the festival spans from Ghatasthapana on Ashwin 25 (Sunday, October 11) to Kojagrat Purnima on approximately Kartik 8 (Sunday, October 25). The government-declared holiday block runs from Ashwin 31 (Saturday, October 17) through Kartik 6 (Friday, October 23), a 7-day break covering Phulpati, Ashtami, Navami, Vijaya Dashami, Ekadashi, and Dwadashi.

Oct
11

Ghatasthapana (घटस्थापना): Ashwin 25, Sunday, October 11, 2026 Day one of Dashain. Families wake before sunrise to perform the Kalash puja within the auspicious window. A copper or clay pot (ghata) is filled with holy water and sacred leaves. Barley seeds (jamara) are sown in clean soil in a clay tray and placed in a dark room to sprout into golden-yellow Jamara by Tika Day. Government offices remain open on Ghatasthapana itself.
Oct
12-16

Days 2 through 6: Daily Navadurga Puja Each day the nine manifestations of Durga are worshipped. In Gorkha, the ancestral capital, the royal Phulpati bouquet is assembled from the palace garden. Preparations intensify: new clothes are purchased, khasi (goats) are acquired, tailors stay open until midnight. Schools and government offices begin closing by Day 6.
Oct
17

Phulpati (फूलपाती): Ashwin 31, Saturday, October 17 (First Holiday Day) The sacred bouquet of flowers from Gorkha arrives at Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square in a formal state procession, complete with Nepal Army escort and gun salutes. This is the first official government holiday of the Dashain block. Buses out of Kathmandu are sold out days in advance; the annual homeward migration is at full pace.
Oct
18

Maha Ashtami (महाअष्टमी): Kartik 1, Sunday, October 18 The eighth day and the night of Kaal Ratri, when the goddess takes her most terrifying form. Ritual animal sacrifice (bali) takes place at Kot Courtyard and hundreds of temples across the country. Shakta devotees perform extensive puja through the night. This day carries deep significance in the Durga Saptashati tradition.
Oct
19

Maha Navami (महानवमी): Kartik 2, Monday, October 19 The ninth day carries the most significant sacrifice rites. Vehicles, tools, machines, and weapons receive puja in the Ayudha Puja tradition. The Nepal Army performs elaborate weapons ceremonies at Tundikhel. Mechanics, airline offices, and transport companies conduct blessing rituals. Butcher shops are at peak activity; the khasi market has been running since dawn.
Oct
20

Vijaya Dashami (विजया दशमी) / Tika Day: Kartik 3, Tuesday, October 20 The most auspicious day of the Nepali year. Elders apply tika (red rice mixed with yoghurt and green Jamara sprouts) on the foreheads of all younger family members with blessings (aashirbaad). The specific auspicious tika sait window for 2083 Vijaya Dashami will be published by the official Panchanga Nirdhaarak Samiti closer to the date. Government offices, banks, and corporations hold their own tika functions; national television broadcasts ceremony coverage from early morning.
Oct
21-23

Ekadashi through Dwadashi: Kartik 4-6, October 21-23 (Final Holiday Days) The extended tika season. Families visit in-laws, maternal homes, and extended relatives through the holiday block. October 23 (Kartik 6) is the final official government holiday of the Dashain break. Return traffic to Kathmandu peaks on October 22-24; book transport by mid-September to guarantee a seat.
Oct
25

Kojagrat Purnima (कोजाग्रत पूर्णिमा): Kartik 8, approximately Sunday, October 25 The full moon of Kartik marks the formal conclusion of Dashain. Laxmi is worshipped and staying awake through the night is considered auspicious (Kojagrat means "who is awake"). Families lay out snacks, play cards, and light incense until midnight. This is not a government holiday but is widely observed. The festival closes as the moon sets on October 26.

Planning Your Dashain 2083

Book bus and air tickets for homeward travel by mid-September. Hotel rates in Pokhara, Chitwan, and Nagarkot during the Dashain-Tihar stretch typically double. Jamara planting on October 11 means arriving home by October 10 at the latest if you are observing at home. Bank and government offices begin shutting down progressively from October 14; plan essential government paperwork before October 12.

Festival Deep-Dive

Tihar 2083 (तिहार): Five Days of Light and Gratitude

Tihar (दीपावली), also called Deepawali, follows Dashain after a two-week pause. If Dashain is about power and ancestral blessing, Tihar is about love: for crows, for dogs, for cows, for siblings, and for the goddess of wealth. The five-day cycle in 2083 runs from Kartik 20 (Friday, November 6) through Kartik 24 (Tuesday, November 10), with the government holiday block covering Kartik 22 through Kartik 26 (Sunday November 8 through Thursday November 12).

Nov
6

Kag Tihar (काग तिहार): Kartik 20, Friday, November 6 Before eating anything yourself, food is placed outside for crows. Crows are Yamraj's messengers in Hindu cosmology; feeding them is a respectful acknowledgment of mortality. By 7 AM on this Friday, rooftops and courtyards across the Valley are laid with beaten rice, fruit, and bread for the birds. The crows of Kathmandu are notably well-fed on this day.
Nov
7

Kukur Tihar (कुकुर तिहार): Kartik 21, Saturday, November 7 Dogs are garlanded with marigolds, given a tika of red vermillion, and offered a feast. The Nepal Police conduct a formal ceremony honoring their service dogs. The image of a garlanded street dog receiving worship is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of Nepali culture. Since this falls on a Saturday in 2083, it is a natural rest day for the full ceremony.
Nov
8

Gai Tihar and Laxmi Puja (लक्ष्मी पूजा): Kartik 22, Sunday, November 8 Cows are worshipped as a form of Laxmi in the morning. After sunset, every home is lit with oil diyas, candles, and string lights. Pathways of light lead from the street to the front door, inviting the goddess of wealth inside. The Deusi-Bhailo singing teams move from neighborhood to neighborhood collecting blessings and donations. This is the most visually stunning night of the Nepali year. In 2083 it falls on a Sunday: families can spend all of Saturday in preparation and celebrate through Sunday night without a Monday morning commute waiting. Laxmi Puja falling on a Sunday last occurred in 2080 BS and is a rare convenience.
Nov
9

Gobardhan Puja and Mha Puja: Kartik 23, Monday, November 9 In most Hindu households, a mound of cow dung (Gobardhan) representing the mountain Krishna lifted to shelter villagers from rain is worshipped. For the Newar community, this is Mha Puja: the most important ceremony in the Newar calendar, in which each individual performs puja to themselves as a living deity. Mha Puja also marks the beginning of Nepal Sambat, the traditional Newar New Year. Ceremonies in Patan and Bhaktapur are particularly elaborate.
Nov
10

Bhai Tika (भाई टीका): Kartik 24, Tuesday, November 10 (Final Day) Sisters apply a seven-color tika on their brothers' foreheads, place marigold garlands, and perform an aarati with oil lamps, praying for their brothers' long life. The ritual invokes the story of Yamini, Yamraj's sister, who negotiated with death itself to extend her brother's life. Brothers offer gifts: traditionally sweets and clothing, increasingly cash or electronics. This is the most emotionally charged family ceremony of the entire festival season.

Chhath Parwa 2083

Following Tihar, Chhath Parwa (Kartik 29, Sunday, November 15) is observed by Madhesi, Maithil, and Tharu communities. Devotees stand waist-deep in rivers (Bagmati at Gausala, Narayani at Bharatpur, Ratu Khola in Janakpur) to worship the sun at both sunset and dawn. It is Nepal's most visually striking act of nature-worship and draws large crowds of spectators as well as devotees.

Auspicious Dates 2083

Shubha Sait 2083: Marriage, Pasni, and Bratabandha Dates

In the Bikram Sambat panchang tradition, "Sait" (साइत) refers to a Tithi-Nakshatra combination considered auspicious for major life ceremonies. The 2083 panchang lists 41 shubha bibaha (wedding) sait dates across five months. Because 2083 has no Adhik Mas, the calendar structure is standard and the sait distribution follows the typical five-month pattern.

Why Falgun 2083 Has the Most Sait Dates

Falgun's 12 dates make it the year's busiest wedding month by a significant margin. Astrologically, the Sun's transit through Kumbha Rashi (Aquarius) into Meen (Pisces) during Falgun creates a Nakshatra alignment that panchang scholars consistently rate as ideal for bibaha muhurta. No major fasting festival falls in Falgun 2083, and no Pitru Paksha or Shrawan fasting period overlaps. The combination drives demand: wedding venue caterers in Kathmandu report that Falgun 15-20 (February 27 to March 4) is their single most heavily booked window of any year. Book venues and catering at least 3 to 4 months in advance for these dates.

Months Without Sait in 2083

Seven months carry no marriage sait: Jestha, Shrawan, Bhadra, Ashwin, Kartik, Poush, and Chaitra. The reasons are ritual rather than arbitrary. Shrawan and Bhadra are fasting months (Teej, Janai Purnima, Nag Panchami) traditionally unsuitable for celebration. Ashwin and Kartik are consumed by Dashain and Tihar; the bali rites make them inauspicious for weddings in the traditional panchang view. Poush falls in Khar Mas, the Sun's transit of Dhanu Rashi (Sagittarius), traditionally considered inauspicious for new beginnings. Chaitra is the liminal year-end month.

Pasni (Annaprashana) and Bratabandha

Pasni, the first rice-feeding ceremony, is traditionally conducted in odd-numbered months for boys and even months for girls. Any date free of Amavasya, Chaturdashi, or other inauspicious Tithis is generally acceptable; consult your priest for Nakshatra alignment. For Bratabandha (the sacred thread ceremony), the Baisakh spring window (April 14 to May 14) and the pre-Dashain Ashwin window (September 17 to October 10) are the traditional preferred periods. Specific dates require matching to the individual's birth Nakshatra.

Planning note on sait dates

The dates above are planning references verified from the 2083 panchang. For the exact muhurta (auspicious time window within a sait day), always confirm with your trusted pandit or jyotish who can align the date with both families' birth charts and the specific Tithi-Nakshatra-Yoga-Karana combination. Use the Marriage Sait filter on this calendar and the .ics download to share dates with your family.

Long Weekends to Plan Around in 2083

May Day weekend: May 1-3 (Fri to Sun)

Buddha Jayanti, May Day, and Ubhauli all fall on Friday May 1. Saturday is the weekly holiday and Sunday follows. A natural 3-day break: good for Lumbini, Chitwan, or a Kathmandu Valley loop.

Republic Day weekend: May 29-31 (Fri to Sun)

Republic Day on Friday May 29 creates a clean three-day weekend through Sunday May 31. One of the last good travel windows before the monsoon closes mountain trekking routes.

Janai Purnima weekend: Aug 28-30 (Fri to Sun)

Janai Purnima on Friday August 28. Three-day weekend through Sunday August 30. Pilgrims visiting Gosainkunda should arrange transport at least three weeks in advance; the trail fills completely.

Gaura Parva weekend: Sep 4-6 (Fri to Sun)

A second consecutive Friday holiday creates another 3-day break. Particularly significant for families in Sudur-Paschim Province with roots in the Doti and Baitadi regions.

Dashain break: Oct 17-23 (Sat to Fri, 7 days)

The longest break of the year. Official holiday block is Saturday October 17 through Friday October 23. Book travel by mid-September. Tika day is Tuesday October 20 (Kartik 3).

Tihar block: Nov 8-12 (Sun to Thu, 5 days)

Government holiday runs Sunday November 8 (Laxmi Puja) through Thursday November 12. Bhai Tika is Tuesday November 10. Laxmi Puja on a Sunday is the most convenient Tihar configuration in recent years.

Christmas weekend: Dec 25-27 (Fri to Sun)

Christmas on Friday December 25 (for observers) creates a natural 3-day weekend. Combined with Yomari Punhi on December 24, the Poush stretch gives a quieter late-December work break for the full office.

Maghe Sankranti weekend: Jan 15-17 (Fri to Sun)

Maghe Sankranti on Friday January 15 creates a 3-day weekend. Devghat Triveni near Chitwan is the largest single-day pilgrimage gathering of Magh: book accommodation by December for this destination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nepali Calendar 2083 BS: Common Questions Answered

What is today's Nepali date in BS 2083?

The Merokalam Nepali Calendar detects your device's local time and converts it to Nepal Standard Time (UTC+5:45) automatically.

If today falls outside the 2083 BS year (before Baisakh 1, April 14, 2026 or after Chaitra 30, April 13, 2027), the panel indicates that the current date is outside the 2083 range. No account or location permission is required.

When does Baisakh 2083 start? What is the Nepali New Year date?

Baisakh 1, 2083 falls on Tuesday, April 14, 2026. This is the Nepali New Year and a national public holiday. The day also marks Mesh Sankranti (the Sun's entry into Aries according to the Surya Siddhanta), Bisket Jatra in Bhaktapur, and the beginning of the 2083 BS civil calendar year.

When is Dashain 2083? What is the Vijaya Dashami (Tika) date?

Kojagrat Purnima, the formal end of Dashain, falls approximately on Kartik 8 (Sunday October 25).

How many marriage sait dates are there in Nepali Calendar 2083?

There are 41 auspicious marriage sait (शुभ विवाह साइत) dates in 2083 BS, spread across five months: Baisakh (8 dates), Ashadh (7 dates), Mangsir (8 dates), Magh (6 dates), and Falgun (12 dates). Falgun is the busiest wedding month with 12 sait dates. Seven months have no sait dates: Jestha, Shrawan, Bhadra, Ashwin, Kartik, Poush, and Chaitra. Use the Marriage Sait filter on this calendar to see all 41 dates highlighted, or download the .ics file to import them into your phone calendar.

Does BS 2083 have an Adhik Mas (intercalary leap month)?

No. BS 2083 has no Adhik Mas. The year is a standard 365-day year with 12 months. Adhik Mas occurs when the Gregorian solar year and the lunar Tithi cycle require an extra lunar month to stay in sync; it happens roughly every 2.5 to 3 years. The absence of Adhik Mas in 2083 means month-start dates are more predictable and the wedding sait distribution follows the standard five-month pattern.

When is Maha Shivaratri 2083?

Maha Shivaratri 2083 falls on Falgun 22, Saturday March 6, 2027. It is a full public holiday. Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu receives over a million visitors across the Shivaratri period, including Sadhus from across South Asia who gather at the temple by tradition. The main puja takes place through the night of March 5-6. Since March 6 is a Saturday (the weekly government holiday in Nepal), it is a natural rest day for observation.

When is Buddha Jayanti 2083?

Buddha Jayanti 2083 falls on Baisakh 18, Friday May 1, 2026, which is also May Day (International Workers Day) and Ubhauli (the Kirat planting festival). All three holidays are combined as a single public holiday. Swayambhunath Stupa, Boudhanath Stupa, and Lumbini (the birthplace of the Buddha) are the primary sites of observance. The Friday date creates a natural long weekend through Sunday May 3.

What is the longest and shortest month in Nepali Calendar 2083?

The longest month in 2083 BS is Ashadh (असार) with 32 days, running from June 15 to July 16, 2026. The shortest months are Mangsir (मंसिर) and Magh (माघ), each with 29 days: Mangsir runs November 17 to December 15, 2026, and Magh runs January 15 to February 12, 2027. This variation is inherent to the Bikram Sambat solar calendar: month lengths are determined by the time the Sun takes to traverse each Rashi (zodiac arc) rather than a fixed-day formula.
