Why Nepal's date is different
Bikram Sambat is a solar calendar whose months run from 29 to 32 days, and the lengths change from year to year. The year begins in mid-April, so no Bikram Sambat year lines up neatly with a Gregorian one — for most of a Gregorian year the gap is 56 years and 8 months, and it shifts as the two new years pass each other. why Nepali months change length covers the mechanics properly.
