Good to know about the time in Nepal
Nepal is on UTC+5:45 all year round, with no daylight saving time: an unusual offset, to the quarter of an hour, adopted in 1986.
Nepal’s time is based on the meridian of Gauri Shankar, a mountain east of Kathmandu. Neighbouring India is 15 min behind Nepal, and China, on the other side of the Himalayas, 2 h 15 min ahead.
