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 Western European Time (WET)

Western European Time (WET, IANA: Europe/Lisbon, Atlantic/Faroe) is the civil time during winter for Portugal mainland (excluding the Azores), the Canary Islands (Spain), the Faroe Islands (Denmark), and Iceland uses WET-equivalent year-round (no DST in Iceland). WET is set at UTC+0 — the same offset as GMT — but the distinction is that GMT refers specifically to the time at the Greenwich Observatory while WET is the formal civil-time designation in continental Western European countries. WET observes Daylight Saving Time (switching to WEST — Western European Summer Time = UTC+1) from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC. The Azores archipelago (Portuguese Atlantic territory) is one hour behind mainland Portugal at AZOT = UTC-1:00 (winter) / AZOST = UTC+0:00 (summer). WET serves approximately 17 million people. Major cities: Lisbon (550K city, 2.9M metro), Porto (240K), Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (380K), Santa Cruz de Tenerife (220K), Reykjavík (130K — Iceland on WET-equivalent), Tórshavn Faroe (13K).
