Live countdown to Dashain, Tihar, Nepali New Year, and every major festival this year — dates sourced from Nepal's official calendar authority.
Nepali festivals mostly follow the lunar Bikram Sambat calendar rather than a fixed solar date, so the Gregorian (AD) date shifts every year. These dates are drawn from the official 2083 BS calendar published by Nepal's Panchanga Nirnayak Bikas Samiti (the government-mandated calendar authority) and independently cross-checked — including weekday matching — against a verified Bikram Sambat conversion engine. This page covers 2083 BS (2026–27 AD) specifically; dates will need updating once the next year's official calendar is published.
The three featured cards update live every second. Here's how to find a specific festival, and what the timeline below them shows.
Check the three featured countdowns
Vijaya Dashami, Bhai Tika, and Nepali New Year are pinned at the top and count down live to the second. Once a date passes, its card dims and shows how many days ago it happened instead.
Search for any other festival
Type a name in English or Nepali — Holi, Teej, ल्होसार, Chhath — and a live countdown card appears for every match, using the same second-by-second timer as the featured three.
Scroll the full timeline for the whole year
Below the search box, every festival in 2083 BS is listed chronologically with both its BS and AD date, weekday, and a "days away" badge — useful for planning leave or travel well ahead of time.
The precise auspicious hour for Dashain and Tihar tika is only announced by the Panchanga Nirnayak Samiti roughly 2–3 weeks before each festival, so it isn't available this far in advance. Most households give tika any time on the day itself without waiting for the exact astrological minute — this page tracks the day, not the minute.
Nepali festivals mostly follow the lunar Bikram Sambat calendar rather than a fixed solar date, so their Gregorian equivalent moves from year to year — the same festival can land on a different AD date each time. This page is specific to 2083 BS (2026–27 AD) for that reason.
