About this calendar
In 2026, Nepal observes 27 public holidays, beginning with Maghe Sankranti on and ending with Chhat Parwa on . These are official days on which government offices, banks, schools, and most businesses are closed.
Holidays here include a mix of fixed dates (such as New Year's Day and national independence days) and variable dates (such as religious holidays that follow lunar or ecclesiastical calendars). Variable holidays may shift by 1–2 days from year to year.
Nepal is one of the few countries with a one-day weekend: Saturday. The week runs Sunday to Friday, and government offices close early on Fridays. Nepal also follows its own calendar, the Bikram Sambat, so the new year and many holidays fall on dates that look unfamiliar to visitors.
