Topics We Cover
Nepali Language & Script: Our language guides cover the complete Nepali Devanagari alphabet including all 36 consonants, 12 vowels, vowel marks (matras), conjunct characters, and number forms. You will learn correct pronunciation, romanization, and how to read and write Nepali script from scratch.
Calendar Systems: Nepal uses the Bikram Sambat calendar, which is roughly 56 years and 8 months ahead of the Gregorian calendar. Our calendar guides explain the history of Bikram Sambat, the structure of its 12 months, how leap years work, and why BS month lengths vary each year based on astronomical calculations.
Tax & Finance: Understanding Nepal's income tax system is essential for salaried employees, business owners, and freelancers. Our tax guides break down current fiscal year slabs, TDS rates, social security contributions, VAT rules, and filing deadlines in plain language with worked examples.
Land Measurement: Nepal uses two distinct land measurement systems — the Ropani-Aana-Paisa system in the hills and the Bigha-Kattha-Dhur system in the Terai. Our guides explain both systems, provide conversion tables, and cover the historical context behind these units.
Unicode & Computing: The transition from legacy fonts like Preeti to Unicode has been a major shift in Nepali digital communication.
