    About the Nepal public holiday calculator

    The Ministry of Home Affairs publishes the government holiday list for each Bikram Sambat year. This tool shows the 2083 BS list, which runs from 14 April 2026 to 13 April 2027, grouped by Nepali month. It also finds the next holiday and counts working days between two BS dates.

    How government holidays work in Nepal

    Saturday is the weekly government holiday. The published list adds national days, festivals and community-specific holidays on top of that. Some holidays apply only in certain districts or to certain groups, such as Gai Jatra in the Kathmandu Valley, Indra Jatra, Ghode Jatra or women's holidays like Teej and Jitiya. The list in this tool is the central government list; your office or local government may have a different working calendar.

    Tentative and moon-sighting holidays

    Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Muhammad Jayanti and a few other festivals depend on moon sightings or a separate notification. Their dates can change at short notice. The calculator lists them separately as dates to be confirmed and does not include them in the working-day count until an AD date is fixed.

    Counting working days

    The working-day counter excludes Saturdays and listed holidays by default. Use it to plan exams, project deadlines, visa appointments, school admissions or office leave. If your organisation works on Saturdays, untick that option. The count includes both the start and end dates, so a single-day range returns either one working day or zero if it is a holiday.

    Dashain and Tihar

    The 2083 list gives seven days for Dashain (17 to 23 October 2026) and five days for Tihar (8 to 12 November 2026). Government offices, schools and many businesses close for longer, especially around Dashain. Check your own institution's notice before booking travel.

    Frequently asked questions

    When does the 2083 BS holiday calendar start and end?
    It applies from 2083/01/01 BS, which is 14 April 2026, to 2083/12/31 BS, which is 13 April 2027. The Ministry of Home Affairs published the list on 2082/11/18.
    Is Saturday a public holiday in Nepal?
    Saturday is the weekly government holiday. The published list does not repeat it, but the working-day counter excludes it by default.
    Which holidays are local rather than national?
    Gai Jatra, Indra Jatra, Ghode Jatra and some Newar festivals are mainly observed in the Kathmandu Valley. Teej and Jitiya are commonly given to women. Fagu Purnima is observed on different days in the hills and the Terai.
    Why are some holidays marked tentative?
    Eid, Bhoto Jatra, Saruwa Pawani and a few other festivals depend on a moon sighting or a separate government notification. The date can move, so the tool lists them separately and leaves them out of the working-day count until confirmed.
    Does the working-day count include the start and end date?
    Yes. The range is inclusive. If the start date is a Saturday and you exclude Saturdays, it is not counted; the following working day is.
    Can I use this for school or office holidays?
    It follows the central government list. Schools, banks and private offices sometimes add or remove holidays, so check your institution's notice as well.
