Does it account for Daylight Saving Time?

Yes, our converter uses the IANA timezone database, which includes all current DST rules for every timezone in the world.

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks. All timezones are defined as offsets from UTC.

Can I compare multiple timezones at once?

Yes, you can add multiple cities or timezones and see the equivalent times side by side.

How many timezones are there in the world?

There are 38 distinct UTC offsets in use, ranging from UTC-12 to UTC+14. This includes half-hour (UTC+5:30 India, UTC+9:30 Australia) and 45-minute offsets (UTC+5:45 Nepal, UTC+8:45 Australia).

What is the International Date Line?

The International Date Line (IDL) runs roughly along the 180° meridian in the Pacific Ocean. When you cross it westward, you gain a day; crossing eastward, you lose a day.

Why do some timezones have 30 or 45 minute offsets?

Countries chose offsets that best matched their solar noon. India uses UTC+5:30 and Nepal uses UTC+5:45 because standard hourly offsets didn't align well with their geography.

Which country has the most timezones?

France has the most (12 timezones) due to overseas territories. Russia spans 11 timezones. The US has 6 (including Hawaii and Alaska).

Everything You Need to Know About Kathmandu and AEDT Time

Kathmandu runs on Nepal Time (NPT) at UTC+05:45. AEDT runs on Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) at UTC+11:00. That puts Kathmandu 5 hours 15 minutes ahead of AEDT — a difference of +5h 15m at the current offsets.

In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in Kathmandu it is 2:15 PM in AEDT. Midnight in Kathmandu is 5:15 AM in AEDT. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert Kathmandu to AEDT time

Scheduling a call from Kathmandu to AEDT: a 10:00 AM start in Kathmandu lands at 3:15 PM in AEDT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Kathmandu and AEDT are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 11:45 AM NPT time (2:15 PM–5:00 PM AEDT). That is roughly 2 hours 45 minutes of usable overlap.
Booking travel or deliveries: tracking AEDT local time against Kathmandu keeps pickup windows and arrival estimates honest across the +5h 15m offset.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM NPT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +5h 15m gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–11:45 AM NPT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Kathmandu and need AEDT colleagues present.

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).

About AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time)

Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) is the daylight saving period in south-eastern Australia, one hour ahead of Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST, UTC+10:00). Because Australia is in the southern hemisphere, AEDT runs through the summer — from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April — which is almost exactly the reverse of the European and North American schedules. New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory observe it; Queensland and the Northern Territory do not, so Brisbane stays on AEST year round while Sydney moves to AEDT. During AEDT, Sydney is 11 hours ahead of UTC and 16 hours ahead of New York.

Best time to call between Kathmandu and AEDT

Both Kathmandu and AEDT sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–11:45 AM NPT, which is 2:15 PM–5:00 PM AEDT. That gives roughly 2 hours and 45 minutes of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.

Business hours overlap

Kathmandu and AEDT overlap for about 2 hours during the working day — enough for meetings if you avoid the edges of the window.

Kathmandu is 5 hours 15 minutes ahead of AEDT (NPT UTC+05:45 → AEDT UTC+11:00). The shared working window is 9:00 AM–11:45 AM NPT. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
