Other conversions
About Nepal Time
Nepal sits at UTC+5:45 — one of only a handful of quarter-hour offsets anywhere, and 15 minutes ahead of India. It was set to the meridian of Gaurishankar, and it means conversions from Nepal land on the quarter hour, which most conversion tables round away.
Cities on this clock: Kathmandu.
About Coordinated Universal Time
UTC never shifts. It is the reference every other zone is defined against, which is why logs, flight schedules and protocol timestamps use it. GMT is the same clock for every civil purpose, so a query for one is answered by the other.
Cities on this clock: Reykjavik, Accra, Abidjan, Dakar.
Watch out: GMT is also used loosely to mean "UK time", and those are not the same thing for seven months of the year — the United Kingdom moves to BST (UTC+1) while UTC stays put.
How the difference is worked out
Neither Nepal Time nor Coordinated Universal Time moves its clock relative to the other, so coordinated universal time is 5 hours 45 minutes behind nepal time is a rule rather than a fact about one particular year. The hour-by-hour table above holds on every date.
With both zones on their own standard time — daylight saving not in force anywhere — Coordinated Universal Time is 5 hours 45 minutes behind Nepal Time. That figure never changes; everything else on this page follows from it plus whichever clocks have moved.
Every figure here comes from the IANA time zone database via your browser's own Intl engine, using the zone ids Asia/Kathmandu and UTC. Nothing is looked up on a server and nothing about your visit is recorded.
