★ TIME & DATE · WORLD CLOCK · NEPAL
Noon on January 15, 2027 in Nepal is 06:15 UTC and 01:15 EST in New York. Enter a date and time in Nepal Time to get the matching UTC and US times, with the date shown for each zone — and mind the 45 minutes that make Nepal different from every whole-hour zone.
Nepal uses one time zone for the whole country, with no daylight saving, and it is one of the few zones in the world offset by 45 minutes rather than a whole hour. Enter a Nepal date and time and the converter shows what time it is in UTC and across the United States — including when the date flips.
Nepal Time (NPT) is UTC+5:45 all year, from Kathmandu in the central hills to the far west of the country, and Nepal has no daylight saving time. That 45 minutes is the whole hook of this page: most of the world sits on whole-hour offsets, so converters and mental arithmetic that round to the hour quietly land 45 minutes wrong for Nepal. The conversion itself is simple once the offset is respected — subtract 5 hours and 45 minutes from NPT to get UTC, every day of the year, with no spring-forward or fall-back to track. The complication is entirely on the American side, where the US zones shift with daylight saving while Nepal does not, so the gap between Nepal and New York is 10 hours and 45 minutes in the northern winter and 9 hours and 45 minutes in the summer. A noon meeting in Kathmandu is therefore 01:15 the same morning in New York in January, but 02:15 in July.
Nepal Time is not India Time, and confusing the two is the single most common Nepal scheduling mistake. India Time (IST) is UTC+5:30, which is 15 minutes behind Nepal Time, so noon in Kathmandu is 11:45 the same morning in Delhi — close enough to look right on a calendar and wrong enough to miss the start of a call. Do not copy an IST conversion and assume it works for Nepal. The date question matters too: Nepal is 10 to 11 hours ahead of the US zones, so a Nepal daytime lands on the same early morning in the east but on the previous evening in the west — noon in Nepal is still the previous night in Denver, Los Angeles, and Honolulu. Always read the date beside each converted time, not just the hour. This page covers the country-level zone for all of Nepal, including Kathmandu: there is no separate Kathmandu time converter on Bright Side Kit, because Kathmandu keeps exactly the same time as the rest of the country.

NPT is UTC+5:45 with no daylight saving, so the Nepal side of every conversion is exact. US times follow the daylight-saving rules in force on the entered date, which the converter reads from the browser's time-zone data; if those rules ever change by law, results for dates after the change depend on an updated browser. On this page, NPT means Nepal Time only — do not confuse it with any other abbreviation that shares the letters, and never substitute India Time (UTC+5:30) for it. Kathmandu, Pokhara, and every other Nepali city share this single zone, which is why no separate city converter is needed.
Bright Side Kit. "Nepal Time Converter: NPT to UTC and US Time Zones." https://brightoolbox.com/nepal-time-converter/ Accessed October 24, 2026.Nepal Time (NPT), UTC+5:45, for the whole country, all year. There are no regional Nepali time zones and no daylight saving time in Nepal.
No. Nepal stays at UTC+5:45 through both summer and winter. The US side shifts instead, which changes the gap by one hour between seasons.
06:15 UTC, year-round: subtract 5 hours and 45 minutes from NPT. Noon on January 15, 2027 in Nepal is 06:15 UTC on January 15.
It depends on the season: 01:15 EST on the same morning in the northern winter, and 02:15 EDT on the same morning in the summer. Nepal does not shift, so the US daylight-saving change moves the answer by an hour.
No. India Time (IST) is UTC+5:30, which is 15 minutes behind Nepal Time. Noon in Kathmandu is 11:45 the same morning in Delhi — close enough to confuse, wrong enough to miss a call.
Because Nepal is 10 to 11 hours ahead of the US zones, a Nepal daytime lands on the previous evening in the western United States. Noon in Nepal is 23:15 the previous day in Denver and 22:15 the previous day in Los Angeles in January — always check the date beside each converted time.
Hawaii is 15 hours and 45 minutes behind Nepal all year, because neither place observes daylight saving. Noon in Kathmandu is always 20:15 the previous day in Honolulu.
No, and none is needed: Kathmandu keeps exactly the same time as the rest of Nepal. This country-level page is the converter to use for Kathmandu, Pokhara, and every other Nepali city.
