Tibetan Calendar 1
he Tibetan Calendar is a lunisolar calendar, meaning it is based on both the moon and the sun. It is used in Tibet, Bhutan, and parts of Nepal for religious, cultural, and astrological purposes. The Tibetan New Year, known as Losar, marks the beginning of the year and usually falls between late January and early March.
