Using the BS and AD date converter
Bikram Sambat and the Gregorian calendar use different month boundaries and month lengths. Although BS is often described as roughly 56 years and eight months ahead, that difference is not a dependable formula for converting a particular day. This tool instead looks up the selected date in the published Patro dataset.
For BS to AD, choose a published year, month and day. For AD to BS, enter the Gregorian date used in Australia. A successful result shows both calendar forms and, where recorded, weekday and lunar details. The Vikram Samvat overview provides general historical context.
The converter covers only dates represented in the site's dataset. An unavailable result means the requested date was not found; it should not be interpreted as proof that the date is invalid. Always copy the full day, month and year when sharing a conversion, and verify high-stakes dates against an authoritative document or qualified source.
After converting, open the year calendar for surrounding dates, browse the festival list, or find relevant Australian events. Australian public holidays remain a separate legal calendar.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a Nepali date to an English date?+
To convert a Nepali (Bikram Sambat, BS) date to an English (Gregorian, AD) date, use the "Convert BS to AD" form above. Select the BS year, month, and day, then click Convert. The result shows the corresponding Gregorian date along with the weekday and tithi if available.
How do I convert an English date to a Nepali date?+
To convert an English (AD) date to a Nepali (BS) date, use the "Convert AD to BS" form. Enter the Gregorian date and click Convert. The result displays the equivalent Bikram Sambat date with lunar details.
Why do I need a Nepali date converter in Australia?+
Nepalis in Australia need a date converter for visa applications, passport forms, birth certificates, marriage certificates, DV lottery entries, university applications, and filling out official Australian government forms that require Gregorian dates. Many Nepali documents use BS dates, so conversion is essential.
How accurate is the BS to AD conversion?+
The converter performs an exact day-level lookup in the published Aus Nepali Patro dataset (BS 2080–2084). Because BS month lengths vary, simple arithmetic does not work — each result is a stored calendar record, not an estimate.
What is the difference between Bikram Sambat and Gregorian calendar?+
The Bikram Sambat (BS) calendar is Nepal's official calendar, approximately 56 years and 8 months ahead of the Gregorian (AD) calendar. BS months have 29-32 days and don't align exactly with AD months.
Can I use this converter for official documents?+
The lookup returns the published calendar mapping for the date, but this website is not an official records authority. For visas, passports, certificates or legal documents, verify the converted date with the issuing authority before relying on it.
What is today's Nepali date?+
Today's Nepali date is 11 Ashwin 2083 BS. You can see today's calendar details on our Today's Patro page at https://nepaleseevents.com/ausnepalipatro/today.
