Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert my Nepali date of birth to English (AD)?
Use the BS → AD tab to convert a Nepali birth date to English (AD): select your Bikram Sambat year, month, and day, and the converter shows the equivalent Gregorian date with the weekday. This Nepali-to-English date conversion is what you'll need for passports, visa applications, the DV lottery, and other official documents that require an AD date.
Why does the converter need the exact year?
Bikram Sambat months vary in length year to year (29 to 32 days), so the converter uses a verified year-by-year dataset rather than a fixed formula, making the day count correct for the specific year chosen.
Is the conversion accurate for official documents like passports and the DV lottery?
It's based on a published, verified calendar dataset and is suitable for filling out forms. For legally critical documents, cross-check against your citizenship certificate or an official source, since a one-day error can affect an application.
What date range does the converter support?
The converter supports Bikram Sambat years 2000 to 2090, corresponding to Gregorian (AD) dates from 14 April 1943 to 13 April 2034.
What's the difference between Bikram Sambat (BS) and the Gregorian (AD) calendar?
Bikram Sambat is Nepal's official calendar, roughly 56 years 8 months ahead of AD, with the new year in mid-April (Baishakh 1). Because BS month lengths shift year to year, the calendars don't align on fixed dates, which is why a converter is needed.
How do I convert an English (AD) date to Nepali (BS)?
Select the AD → BS tab in the converter, enter your Gregorian (English) date — day, month, and year — and the tool shows the equivalent Bikram Sambat (Nepali) date. This is the reverse of BS-to-AD conversion and uses the same verified year-by-year dataset covering BS years 2000 to 2090.
