Nepal Public Holidays 2025

Complete list of public holidays — nationwide & regional

2025 2026 2027
In 2025, Nepal marks 20 public holidays that apply across the whole country. Of these, 8 fall on a weekend this particular year, which leaves 12 on working days — a detail worth checking, since holidays that land on a Saturday or Sunday are not always compensated with a day off in lieu. There are 5 clear "bridge day" opportunities this year — where a public holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, so taking the single adjoining day off turns it into a four-day weekend. The calendar opens with Prithvi Narayan Shah's Birthday (National Unity Day) on Saturday 11 January and closes with King Prithvi Narayan Shah Jayanti on Sunday 28 December.
