Planning with Nepali dates
Nepal festival dates move across calendars
Most Nepal festivals are set by the Bikram Sambat lunar calendar, so the Gregorian dates shift every year. Use this calendar for the AD travel dates, then open the festival page for the story, route, etiquette, and local context behind each celebration.
