History

Nepal publishes government and public holidays annually in Bikram Sambat. Gregorian dates are stored for calendar interoperability while the source BS date is retained in evidence and notes.

Why it matters

The calendar preserves national, festival and one-off public-sector distinctions without flattening limited-scope leave.

Observance

Festival names follow the identities supported by the annual notice or the cited calendar projection.

Travel and planning

Recheck provisional dates and current government notices before travel or appointments.
