Public Holidays in Nepal for 2076 BS

Almost all public holidays in Nepal are celebrated according to the lunar calendar, therefore the dates of their holding according to the standard chronology vary from one year to two weeks. The Nepalese new year begins on Mid of April (the 1st of the Baisakh month). In addition, the Newar people have their own calendar, the new year on which begins on the first day of the new moon after the holiday of Deepawali (late October-early November).

Not all holidays have a national holiday, some of them are celebrated only by a certain ethnic group or caste. Nevertheless, given that Nepal is a mixture of ethnic groups and religions, many holidays are celebrated by almost the entire population. Here we will talk about the most important holidays of Nepal in the order of the Nepali Calendar sequence. Since the dates of the Nepalese holidays are determined according to the Nepalese Calendar based on the lunar cycles, these dates cannot be fixed according to the Gregorian calendar, therefore we will indicate the approximate celebration time – a month.
