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.
About Central Africa Time (CAT)
Central Africa Time (CAT, IANA: Africa/Johannesburg, Africa/Harare) is the civil time for Central and Southern African countries, set at UTC+2:00 year-round (no DST). CAT serves approximately 200 million people across: Botswana, Burundi, DR Congo (eastern half), Egypt (since 2014 reverting from earlier DST trial; year-round UTC+2), eSwatini (Swaziland), Lesotho, Libya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia (since 2017 reverting from earlier WAT trial; year-round UTC+2), Rwanda, South Africa, Sudan (UTC+2 since 2017), Zambia, Zimbabwe. CAT shares the same UTC offset as Eastern European Time (EET) in winter, Egypt Standard Time (EET-Egypt), and Israel Standard Time (IST). Major CAT cities: Johannesburg (5.6M city, 10M metro — economic capital of Sub-Saharan Africa), Cape Town (4.7M metro), Cairo (10M city, 22M metro — the largest city in Africa and the Middle East), Khartoum (5.3M), Lusaka (2.7M), Harare (1.6M), Tripoli (1.2M), Pretoria (740K). Affects: JSE Johannesburg Stock Exchange trading, Cairo + Alexandria Stock Exchange (EGX) trading hours, Kruger National Park safari schedules.
