About Nepal Standard Time
NPT is UTC+5:45— famously a 45-minute offset, shared with almost no other country. Nepal does not use daylight saving, so it never changes. Many other countries do change their clocks, which is why the gap from Nepal can shift by an hour during the year — this converter accounts for that automatically using your browser’s IANA time-zone data.
Frequently asked questions
What is Nepal's time zone?
Nepal Standard Time (NPT) is UTC+5:45 — one of only a few time zones in the world with a 45-minute offset. Nepal does not observe daylight saving, so it stays +5:45 all year.
How do I convert Nepal time to another country?
Leave 'From zone' as Kathmandu (or change it), set the date and time, and the equivalent time in every city you've added appears instantly. Tap '+ Add a city' to include more destinations.
Does it handle daylight saving (DST)?
Yes, automatically. Countries like the USA, UK, EU and Australia change their clocks twice a year, so their gap from Nepal shifts (for example New York is 9 hours 45 minutes or 10 hours 45 minutes behind Nepal depending on the season). The tool reads the correct offset for the date you choose.
What's the time difference between Nepal and the Gulf?
Most Gulf countries (UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman) are UTC+3 or +4, so they are about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes behind Nepal. Malaysia and Singapore are 2 hours 15 minutes ahead; South Korea and Japan are 3 hours 15 minutes ahead.
Is it free and private?
Yes. It uses your browser's built-in time-zone data, runs entirely on your device, and uploads nothing.
