Here's a little trick to obtain dates in the Nepali language:

```
<?php

header('Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8');

$formats = array(
    IntlDateFormatter::NONE => 'IntlDateFormatter::NONE',
    IntlDateFormatter::SHORT => 'IntlDateFormatter::SHORT',
    IntlDateFormatter::MEDIUM => 'IntlDateFormatter::MEDIUM',
    IntlDateFormatter::LONG => 'IntlDateFormatter::LONG',
    IntlDateFormatter::FULL => 'IntlDateFormatter::FULL',
);
$locale = 'ne_NP';
$time_zone = 'Asia/Katmandu';

foreach($formats as $format => $label){
    echo $label . PHP_EOL;
    $fmt = new IntlDateFormatter($locale, $format, $format, $time_zone, IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN);
    echo $fmt->format(new DateTime) . PHP_EOL;
    echo PHP_EOL;
}
```

```
