Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Nepal
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sehri and iftar times across 1 city.
How Nepal decides
Nepal's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
Nepal has no single national moon-sighting body; local ulema, such as the Jama Masjid in Nepalgunj, announce sightings that closely track India's timing. Ramadan began March 2, 2025 and February 19, 2026.
