BS to AD convert

Convert Bikram Sambat (BS) dates to Gregorian (AD) dates quickly and accurately.

Nepali Date (BS)

How it works

The Bikram Sambat (BS) calendar is the official calendar of Nepal and runs roughly 56 years and 8 months ahead of the Gregorian (AD) calendar. Unlike the Gregorian system, where month lengths are fixed, BS months vary between 29 and 32 days and the pattern changes from one year to the next. That is why a simple "add 56 years" shortcut is never reliable. This converter uses a verified year-by-year calendar table so every result lines up with the dates printed in the official Nepali patro and used by government offices.

How to use the BS to AD converter

  1. Enter the Nepali (BS) year, for example 2083.
  2. Select the Nepali month, from Baishakh through Chaitra.
  3. Choose the day of the month.
  4. Press Convert to AD to see the exact English date and weekday.
  5. Copy or share the result, or use the swap button to switch to the AD to BS converter.

When you need a BS to AD date

  • Filling international forms — visa, passport, scholarship and job applications almost always ask for a Gregorian date of birth.
  • Converting the date on your Nepali citizenship, licence or academic certificate into the AD format banks and universities abroad expect.
  • Booking flights or appointments where the schedule is in the English calendar but your reference date is in BS.
  • Cross-checking a festival, anniversary or deadline against the Gregorian year.

Worked example

2083 Bhadra 27 (BS) converts to September 12, 2026 (AD). Change the day and the English date updates instantly, so you can see how each Nepali day maps onto the Gregorian month. To count the gap between two converted dates, pair this with the date difference calculator, or browse the full month in the Nepali calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. It uses an official Nepali calendar table that accounts for the varying number of days in each BS month, so conversions match government records and the printed patro.
