Festivals of Nepal, Month by Month

💡 Did you know?

Nepal celebrates dozens of festivals throughout the year, each with its own food, colors, and traditions.

Dashain, usually in autumn, is one of the biggest — families gather, fly kites, and receive blessings from elders.

Tihar, the festival of lights, follows soon after, when homes are decorated with oil lamps and even animals like crows, dogs, and cows are honored.

Holi, the festival of colors, arrives in spring, when people throw bright colored powder and water at each other in joyful celebration.
