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 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, IANA: Europe/London) is the historic and current civil time of the United Kingdom (during winter), Ireland (during winter), Portugal mainland (during winter), Iceland (year-round), and most West African countries. GMT is set at UTC+0 — the time on the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) running through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, southeast London. Established as the global time reference by the 1884 International Meridian Conference in Washington DC, GMT served as the world's primary civil-time reference from 1884 until 1972 when UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) was adopted as the new precision standard. The UK switches from GMT to British Summer Time (BST = UTC+1) at 01:00 GMT on the last Sunday of March and back to GMT at 02:00 BST on the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC (UK retained this schedule after Brexit). GMT affects: London Stock Exchange (LSE) trading hours, BBC World Service broadcast time-stamps, all aviation NOTAMs and weather METARs which use UTC = GMT, and ICAO + IMO worldwide maritime/aviation coordination.
