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 Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, IANA: America/New_York during DST window) is the summer-time variant of EST, set at UTC-4:00 — observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November per the US Energy Policy Act of 2005. EDT shares the same UTC offset as Atlantic Standard Time (AST — observed year-round in Canadian Maritimes Nova Scotia/New Brunswick/PEI and in Caribbean Puerto Rico/USVI/Bermuda) and as Bolivia/Chile/Paraguay Standard Time. The 'spring forward' transition at 02:00 EDT in March is the largest single coordinated time change in human history, affecting ~150 million US East Coast residents simultaneously per US Census. Florida passed the Sunshine Protection Act in 2018 attempting to stay on EDT year-round, but it required US Congressional approval (US Code 15 §260a) which has not been granted as of 2024. EDT affects: US Federal Government tax-filing deadlines (IRS Form 1040 due 23:59 EDT on April 15), NFL Sunday Night Football scheduling, and US Supreme Court oral-argument schedules in DC.
