About the calendar
Where do these dates come from?
Dates up to April 2027 follow the Nepal government holiday list for 2083. Lunar festivals after that are expected dates from Nepali calendar publishers and are marked "Expected" until the 2084 list is published, usually around February or March.
How do I add the festivals to my phone calendar?
Tap "Add to my calendar". On iPhone it subscribes in Apple Calendar. For Google Calendar, copy the calendar link and paste it under Other calendars → From URL. Subscribed calendars update when dates are confirmed.
How early should a business plan festival posts?
Plan big festivals like Dashain and Tihar two to three weeks ahead, announce offers three to five days before, and post the greeting the evening before or the morning of the day.
Can the festival posts be scheduled automatically?
Post Marga reads this same calendar, puts your logo on a design for each festival and schedules the posts to Facebook, Instagram and TikTok on Nepal time.
