The Nepalese use the Bikram Sambat (BS) calendar. This is a Hindu calendar system that calculates months based on the cycles of the moon and is adjusted to match the solar year, and was initiated by King Bikramaditya. It is the official calendar in Nepal and some parts of India.

The Bikram Sambat calendar is about 56-57 years ahead of the Gregorian calendar. So, when the world is in 2025, Nepalese people are already living in 2082.

Many documents record that Nepalese people still use the Gregorian calendar, but in daily life, the Bikram Sambat calendar is the familiar tool, recorded in parallel on calendars and administrative documents for people to easily follow.

At its height, the British Empire ruled over one-fifth of the world's population, but there were still some countries that were difficult to subdue, including Nepal.

According to SCMP , after the Anglo-Nepal War (1814-1816), the East India Company, representing the British Empire, controlled about 30% of Nepal's territory, but the country was never fully controlled. It was the complex mountainous terrain with almost impenetrable high mountains that hindered the British, helping Nepal maintain its territorial sovereignty .
