WriteNepali’s online Nepali Patro makes it easier to explore the Bikram Sambat (BS) calendar directly from your browser. You can view a monthly calendar, navigate between months, identify weekdays, and refer to the corresponding English date where it is provided.

Whether you are living in Nepal or staying abroad, an online Nepali calendar can help you stay connected with Nepali dates, traditional occasions, and important calendar events.

What Is Nepali Patro?

Nepali Patro, also called the Nepali calendar, is a calendar based on the Bikram Sambat (BS) system. It is widely used in Nepal for civil, administrative, cultural, and everyday date references. Nepali dates are commonly written using Devanagari numerals, although English numerals are also used in digital calendars and documents.

Unlike the Gregorian calendar, which begins in January, the Nepali Bikram Sambat year generally begins around the middle of April. Its months have different lengths, so the number of days in a Nepali month is not always the same.

A Nepali Patro is useful for understanding the date in the local calendar system, following the sequence of Nepali months, and planning activities around important dates and occasions.

Understanding the 12 Months of the Nepali Calendar

The Bikram Sambat calendar has 12 months. Each month has its own place in the Nepali year, and the number of days can vary depending on the month and year.

Here are the 12 Nepali months in their usual calendar order:

These month names are commonly used in Nepali calendars, newspapers, government notices, educational materials, and everyday conversations. Learning their order makes it easier to read dates and understand the Nepali calendar throughout the year.

Nepali Calendar and English Calendar: What Is the Difference?

Nepal commonly uses two calendar systems in daily life: Bikram Sambat (BS) and the Gregorian calendar, also known as the English or AD calendar. Both systems represent dates, but their year numbering, month names, and month structures are different.

For example, a date written in Bikram Sambat may correspond to a different month and year in the Gregorian calendar. The difference between BS and AD is not a fixed number of days or years that can be applied to every date. Accurate conversion requires a reliable calendar mapping.

Why Is the Nepali Patro Important?

The Nepali calendar is more than a way to count days. It helps people organize personal, family, educational, professional, and cultural activities. Many people refer to Nepali dates when planning events or communicating about important occasions.

1. Planning Festivals and Celebrations

Nepal celebrates many cultural and religious festivals throughout the year. People use the Nepali calendar to follow festival dates, prepare for celebrations, and organize family gatherings. Festival dates may depend on the relevant calendar or traditional observance, so users should check the specific date and details for each occasion.

2. Managing Everyday Activities

Knowing the Nepali date can be useful when arranging appointments, remembering birthdays and anniversaries, planning visits, and organizing daily schedules.

3. Education and Academic Planning

Students, teachers, and educational institutions may use Nepali dates in notices, examination schedules, admission documents, school events, and academic planning.

4. Business and Office Work

Businesses may refer to BS dates when preparing invoices, notices, agreements, local schedules, and administrative documents. Having access to both BS and AD references can make date communication easier.

5. Staying Connected with Nepal from Abroad

Nepali people living overseas may want to follow Nepali dates, festivals, and family occasions. An online Patro makes it convenient to check calendar information from different locations.
