Why people convert Nepal to PST time
- Scheduling a call from Nepal to PST: a 10:00 AM start in Nepal lands at 8:15 PM in PST the previous day, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a -13h 45m gap: Nepal and PST 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 PST is 7:15 PM in Nepal.
- Coordinating a Nepal-based team with PST 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 NPT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -13h 45m gap is not.
- With a -13h 45m gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Nepal takes the early slot, the next week PST does.
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 PST (Pacific Standard Time)
Pacific Standard Time (PST) covers the west coast of North America, including tech hubs like San Francisco and Seattle, and entertainment capital Los Angeles. The Pacific Time Zone is home to Silicon Valley and the world's largest technology companies. During summer, clocks advance to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC-07:00). PST is also observed in Baja California, Mexico.
