Expect the unexpected, eh? Is there someone who knew about this? Or all of you knew and I am just late to know? Haha. I am looking back in my history classes but I can't remember if this was tackled but I'm pretty sure was not. The only thing that I remember, in Nepal, lies the highest mountain in the world which is Mount Everest.

How I found out?

I just saw an stream on Facebook, he is on OmeTv and he is talking about someone living in Nepal. I was shocked when he mentioned the current year in their place. At first, I thought he was joking but immediately my hand goes to the browser and search for it.

To my surprise, it was for real! It picked my interest so I looked for more about Nepal. I did a little research and I will put some links if ever you want to know more.

I actually like the humor that the guy has. I enjoyed the stream because of him. Haha. Just the part of him. XD

They use Bikram Sambat Calendar and they are 57 years ahead in what calendar we are using ~ Gregorian Calendar. If we have a maximum of 31 days a month, in Nepal they have 32 days. Still, 365 days and 12 months. See here: Nepali Calendar.

While listening to a Nepali guy he also shares about three(3) geographic regions in Nepal; Tarai, Himal, and Pahad.

Tarai - he says it is where the super hot climate and people live there for agriculture.

Himalaya (Mountain)- he says it is a place full of mountains and less population.

Pahad (Hilly)- according to him it is where the weather is neutral, not too hot, and not too cold. And it is the industrial sector where people do buy and sell.

You can learn more here: https://www.imnepal.com/geography

What is the reason why they are 57 years ahead? Simply, it is because they adapt the Bikram Sambat calendar instead of the Gregorian calendar which is widely used by most parts of the world. This calendar was based on their ancient ruler, Vikramaditya who defeated a certain tribe which was in 57 BC. So, it seems they just add it to the current year to symbolize victory. Haha. Later on, it was adapted by Nepal. For more information click here.

That's all! Just sharing what I have learned today before going to sleep.

How's your day?


Thank you for reading. Stay hydrated and keep safe!

True. Based sa nabasa ko hindi ko pala nasama dito haha, parang paladesisyon lang yung dating ruler sa kanila haha. Dahil doon sa natalo niyang tribe noong 57 BC. Inadd niya haha tas inadapt naman na ng Nepal.

Now that is truly interesting. How come they are 50+ years ahead? My phone's calendar only goes until 2050 and I thought its the last year. Welp, the time is still consistent and doesn't have any limit.

They are using a different calendar, that's why.
