When is Father's Day?
Nepal celebrates two Father's Days, which means two chances to show Dad you're thinking of him:
- International Father's Day - third Sunday of June (June 21, 2026)
- Nepali Father's Day (Kushe Aunsi / Buba Ko Mukh Herne Din) - Bhadra 26 in the Nepali calendar (September 11, 2026)
For both occasions, the gift categories above apply equally well. The Nepali Father's Day is particularly meaningful for dads who follow Nepali traditions - a religious gift, dry nuts hamper, or silver item carries special significance on this day.
What About Birthday/Father's Day Gifts for Father-in-Law?
Gifting your father-in-law requires a slightly more formal touch. Safe and well-received choices include:
- A premium dry nuts or food hamper - respectful, generous, appropriate for all ages
- A religious or silver gift - a god idol or silver coin conveys deep respect
- A personalised desk organiser or diary - practical and dignified
- A health monitor device - shows you care about his wellbeing
Avoid overly casual gifts (novelty mugs, printed tees) for father-in-laws unless you know him very well. Lean towards quality and respect.
