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.

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?+
Our converter uses the official Nepali calendar dataset (Patro) with day-level accuracy. The Bikram Sambat calendar has variable month lengths (29-32 days), so simple arithmetic (subtracting 56 years) does not work. Our tool looks up the exact date in the verified calendar dataset.
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. The current Nepali year is 2083 BS (2026-2027 AD).
Can I use this converter for official documents?+
Yes, this converter provides accurate date conversions suitable for official documents. However, for high-stakes legal documents, we recommend verifying with the Nepali embassy or a qualified authority. Always include the full date (day, month, year) when sharing conversion results.
What is today's Nepali date?+
Today's Nepali date is 24 Bhadra 2083 BS. You can see today's full panchang details on our Today's Patro page at https://nepaleseevents.com/ausnepalipatro/today.
