You could use Carbon for this: https://github.com/briannesbitt/Carbon

The formula is: DateToday + 56 years + 8 months + 15 days

To do this in Carbon:

<?php

$todaysDateInGregorian = Carbon::now();
$currentDateInNepal = $todaysDateInGregorian->addYears(56)->addMonths(8)->addDays(15);

?>

Setting the locale in PHP should provide you with the current date/time. In order to make use of the current locale you need strftime() instead of date():

if(setlocale(LC_TIME, "ne") === false) { // or you can try "ne_NP"
  echo "Could not set locale to ne\n";
}
echo strftime("%Y");

(I have not tried this example for the Nepalese locale, as I do not have it readily installed on my system)

On that note: you need to have the required locale installed/available. On a *nix system you can use locale -a to find all available/installed locales on your system. See List of All Locales and Their Short Codes? for more information on (installing) locales.
