About Korea Standard Time (KST)
Korea Standard Time (KST, IANA: Asia/Seoul) is the civil time of both the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea — since May 2018 when North Korea reverted to KST from its briefly used Pyongyang Time UTC+8:30 of 2015-2018), set at UTC+9:00 year-round (no DST). South Korea observed Daylight Saving Time briefly in 1948-1951 and again 1987-1988 during the Seoul Olympics (to facilitate evening TV broadcasts to North America), but discontinued it both times. KST is identical in offset to Japan Standard Time (JST), Yakutsk Time, Western Indonesian Time WIT (eastern Indonesia), and Palau Time (PWT) — creating a 'business-friendly' Northeast Asia zone of synchronized financial centers (Seoul-Tokyo). KST serves the Korean Peninsula's approximately 78 million residents (South Korea 52M + North Korea 26M). Major KST cities: Seoul (9.7M city, 25.7M metro — South Korean capital and the world's 5th-largest metro), Busan (3.3M — South Korea's 2nd-largest city + main port), Incheon (3M — Seoul Capital Area, location of Incheon International Airport ICN), Daegu (2.4M), Daejeon (1.5M), Pyongyang (3.2M — North Korean capital), Hamhung (770K — North Korea), Nampo (980K — North Korea). Affects: KRX (Korea Exchange) trading hours, K-pop industry music-release timing, Samsung + LG + Hyundai global headquarters operations.
About Nepal Time (NPT)
Nepal Time (NPT, IANA: Asia/Kathmandu) is the civil time of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, set at UTC+5:45 — one of only three time zones in the world with a 45-minute offset (along with Chatham Islands New Zealand UTC+12:45 and Eucla Western Australia UTC+8:45). NPT does not observe Daylight Saving Time. The 45-minute offset is preserved because Nepal's central meridian (~86.5°E) is between India Standard Time (IST = UTC+5:30) and Bangladesh Standard Time (BST = UTC+6:00), and Nepal historically chose to set its civil time to the local mean solar time of the Gauri Shankar peak in eastern Nepal (a national symbolic-geography choice in 1986). The 45-minute offset has practical advantages — Nepal pilots' radio communications with regional ATC are easier to deconflict from Indian-airspace traffic clocked in IST. NPT serves approximately 30 million Nepalese people across 7 provinces. Major cities: Kathmandu (1M city, 2.7M metro — capital and gateway to Mount Everest), Pokhara (300K — gateway to Annapurna treks), Lalitpur (290K), Bharatpur (280K). Affects: Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) trading hours, Mount Everest spring-summit-window climbing-permit timings, Pashupatinath Temple cremation ceremony schedules.
