Festivals

Nepal is a multicultural and multilingual country with a wide variety of festivals, each celebrating the harmony and peace between different tribes. If you plan to visit Nepal, try to plan your trip during one of these festivals to fully immerse yourself in the local culture. From Dashain, Deepawali, to Jitya, festivals are celebrated with great joy and happiness, and provide people with a much-needed break from their busy schedules. Keep in mind that the dates of these festivals change based on the astrological calendar, so it’s best to check with locals to know when they’re happening.

 

Dashain is the biggest festival of the year and is celebrated over 15 days, usually in late September and early October. All castes in Nepal come together to celebrate this festival, which culminates on a full moon night. Tihar/Deepawali, also known as the festival of lights, is celebrated in the month of Kartik (October/November) and is dedicated to the Goddess of Wealth, Laxmi. Nepal looks like a glittering wonderland during this time, with homes and streets adorned with colorful lights and decorations.

 

Fagun Purnima, also known as Holi, is a week-long festival celebrated in late February or early March and is dedicated to the mythical demon Holika. The last day of the festival is the most celebrated day, with colors and water being thrown around. Another important festival is Maha Shiva Ratri, celebrated in the month of Fagun (February/March) to honor Lord Shiva.

 

The festivals of Nepal are not only a time to celebrate and have fun, but also provide an opportunity to learn about the rich culture and traditions of the country. Visitors are always welcome to participate in the festivities and experience the joy of togetherness that these festivals bring to the Nepalese people.
