Question 1

What is today's Nepali date?

Accepted Answer

Open the calendar — today's Nepali date (Bikram Sambat), its English (AD) equivalent, and any festivals falling today are shown at the top. Nepāli Miti keeps both systems in sync automatically.

Question 2

How do I convert a Nepali date (BS) to an English date (AD)?

Accepted Answer

Switch to the Convert view from the header, or visit the dedicated BS to AD converter page. Pick a BS year, month and day and the exact AD date appears instantly — and the reverse too.

Question 3

What is the Bikram Sambat (BS) calendar?

Accepted Answer

Bikram Sambat is the official national calendar of Nepal — a solar calendar named after King Vikramaditya. It has 12 months, begins in mid-April on the Gregorian calendar, and runs about 56.7 years ahead of AD dates.

Question 4

When is Dashain, Tihar and other festivals?

Accepted Answer

Nepāli Miti highlights all major festivals and public holidays — Dashain, Tihar, Holi, Buddha Jayanti and more — directly on the calendar with their exact BS and AD dates for every year from 1970 to 2100.

Question 5

Why is the Nepali year about 57 years ahead of the English year?

Accepted Answer

The Bikram Sambat calendar starts counting from a date about 56.7 years before the Gregorian era began, so the year 2083 BS corresponds roughly to 2026–27 AD.

Question 6

Is Nepāli Miti really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — completely free, with no ads, no bloatware and no sign-up. The full calendar (1970–2100 BS), festivals, holidays, weather, exchange rates and the BS to AD converter are all free.
