Nepal Time Zone - NPT

Nepal Time is five hours and forty-five minutes ahead of the Coordinated Universal Time standard, written as an offset of UTC + 5:45. That means to find the standard time in the zone you must add five hours and forty-five minutes to Coordinated Universal Time.

Nepal Time is what is referred to as a non-standard quarter-hour time zone. This is because the local time in the zone differs by either 15 or 45 minutes, as opposed to the full hour difference you find in most other time zones.

Territories observing the time zone are primarily in Asia. It runs through Nepal, and they remain on Nepal Time all year long and do not make any changes for Daylight Saving.
