It's worse than that: I'm being told [1] that "The Nepal Calendar Determination Committee, a government body, is responsible for calculating and approving the number of days in each month for every year. This means reliable calendar data typically isn't available years in advance, as each year requires fresh astronomical calculations." This sounds silly, but is in fact intended: This Nepal Calendar Determination Committee wants to get *paid* for the accurate calendar data.
