Why people convert Edmonton to Kathmandu time
- Scheduling a call from Edmonton to Kathmandu: a 10:00 AM start in Edmonton lands at 9:45 PM in Kathmandu, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a +11h 45m gap: Edmonton and Kathmandu have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in Kathmandu is 8:45 PM in Edmonton.
- Coordinating a Edmonton-based team with Kathmandu contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM MDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +11h 45m gap is not.
- With a +11h 45m gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Edmonton takes the early slot, the next week Kathmandu does.
- Edmonton: Clocks fall back on Sun, Nov 1, 2026. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the +11h 45m gap.
About MST (Mountain Standard Time)
Mountain Standard Time (MST) covers the Rocky Mountain region of the United States and Canada. Arizona is notable for not observing daylight saving time, staying on MST year-round (except the Navajo Nation). The time zone includes major cities like Denver, Phoenix, Calgary, and Salt Lake City. During summer, most areas switch to Mountain Daylight Time (MDT, UTC-06:00).
About NPT (Nepal Time)
Nepal Time (NPT) runs at UTC+05:45, one of only a handful of time zones worldwide that are not a whole or half hour from UTC. Nepal set its offset to 5 hours 45 minutes ahead of UTC in 1986 to mark the country's position between the 75°E and 90°E meridians; Kathmandu's solar time sits just over 5 hours 41 minutes ahead of Greenwich, so the 45-minute offset tracks the sun more closely than either 5:30 or 6:00 would. Nepal does not observe daylight saving time, so NPT is fixed all year. The offset makes Nepal 15 minutes ahead of India Standard Time (UTC+05:30) and 2 hours 15 minutes ahead of Dubai (UTC+04:00).
