How this converter works
Nepal's official calendar is Bikram Sambat (BS), a lunisolar system that sits roughly 56 years and 8 months ahead of the Gregorian (AD) calendar the rest of the world keeps. BS months are not fixed lengths the way Gregorian months are; each one runs between 29 and 32 days depending on astronomical calculation for that year. Because of that, a simple arithmetic formula will not give the right answer, which is why a lookup-driven tool like this one is the dependable way to move dates across.
The converter handles every day from 2000 BS to 2090 BS (1943 AD to 2034 AD) and works in both directions.
