The short version:
A Nepali (BS) date is written as year, month and day — for example 2083-05-29 or Bhadra 29, 2083 BS. It is 56 or 57 years ahead of the English (AD) date, and the day changes at midnight Nepal time.
Today's Nepali date
Open the Nepali calendar for today's BS date, or convert any date in the date converter.
How to read a Nepali date
- Numeric: 2083-05-29 — year 2083, month 5 (Bhadra), day 29.
- Written: Bhadra 29, 2083 BS, or २०८३ भाद्र २९ in Nepali.
- Nepali digits: ० १ २ ३ ४ ५ ६ ७ ८ ९ are the same as 0–9.
Nepali digits
| Digit | Nepali |
|---|---|
| 0 | ० |
| 1 | १ |
| 2 | २ |
| 3 | ३ |
| 4 | ४ |
| 5 | ५ |
| 6 | ६ |
| 7 | ७ |
| 8 | ८ |
| 9 | ९ |
So २०८३ is 2083 and २९ is 29.
What is today's Nepali date?
Open the Nepali calendar: today is highlighted in both BS and AD, together with the day's holidays and events. For any other day, use the BS ⇄ AD date converter.
Nepal time matters
Nepal Standard Time is UTC+5:45. Just after midnight in Nepal, it can still be the previous day in Europe or the Americas — so "today" in BS depends on Nepal time, not your device's time zone abroad.
Writing dates in documents
- Government forms usually ask for BS dates.
- International invoices, visas and banks abroad usually use AD dates.
- When a document mixes both, write the calendar next to the date: "2083-05-29 BS (14 September 2026 AD)".
