When is Nepali New Year?
| BS year | New Year's Day (Baishakh 1) |
|---|---|
| 2083 | Tuesday, 14 April 2026 |
| 2084 | Thursday, 15 April 2027 |
The date moves by a day or so between years because Bikram Sambat year lengths vary between 365 and 366 days while the Gregorian year follows its own leap-year rule.
BS year = AD year + 56 or 57
From Baishakh 1 to the end of December, the BS year is 57 more than the AD year (April 2026 → 2083). From January to the end of Chaitra it is 56 more (January 2027 → still 2083).
New year, new records
The BS new year is not Nepal's financial year — that starts on Shrawan 1 in mid-July. See Nepal's fiscal year explained for what changes when.
