To experience the Nepali New Year (also known as Bikram Sambat), you can join in the lively festivities held across Nepal, typically in mid-April. In Kathmandu, you’ll find vibrant parades, cultural performances, traditional dances, and local feasts in public squares and temples. Nepali families celebrate by wearing new clothes, preparing traditional foods like sel roti (sweet rice donuts) and gundruk, and exchanging wishes. You can also visit historic temples and monuments, enjoy street festivals, and witness local rituals in towns and villages to experience the full cultural vibe.
