TRT and NPT on the World Map
The map below highlights the TRT (Turkey Time) and NPT (Nepal Time) timezone regions across the globe.
TRT – Turkey Time
UTC+03:00Turkey Time (TRT, UTC+03:00) is the single time zone used across Turkey, fixed year round since 2016.
- •Turkey has used a permanent UTC+03:00 since September 2016.
- •TRT is level with Moscow Standard Time and Arabia Standard Time all year.
- •Because Turkey kept summer time permanently, western cities see very late winter sunrises.
- •Turkey previously observed daylight saving time from 1973 to 2016.
NPT – Nepal Time
UTC+05:45Nepal Time (NPT, UTC+05:45) is the time zone for Nepal — one of the few offsets in the world set on a 45-minute increment.
- •Nepal Time is UTC+05:45 — a 45-minute offset, not a whole or half hour.
- •The 45-minute offset was adopted in 1986 to match Kathmandu's solar time.
- •Nepal does not observe daylight saving time.
- •Nepal is 15 minutes ahead of India, despite sharing a long open border.
Understanding the +2h 45m Gap: TRT vs Nepal
TRT runs on Turkey Time (TRT) at UTC+03:00. Nepal runs on Nepal Time (NPT) at UTC+05:45. That puts TRT 2 hours 45 minutes ahead of Nepal — a difference of +2h 45m at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in TRT it is 11:45 AM in Nepal. Midnight in TRT is 2:45 AM in Nepal. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert TRT to Nepal time
- Scheduling a call from TRT to Nepal: a 10:00 AM start in TRT lands at 12:45 PM in Nepal, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both TRT and Nepal are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 2:15 PM TRT time (11:45 AM–5:00 PM NPT). That is roughly 5 hours 15 minutes of usable overlap.
- Booking travel or deliveries: tracking Nepal local time against TRT keeps pickup windows and arrival estimates honest across the +2h 45m offset.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM TRT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +2h 45m gap is not.
- Block 9:00 AM–2:15 PM TRT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from TRT and need Nepal colleagues present.
About TRT (Turkey Time)
Turkey Time (TRT) is fixed at UTC+03:00 all year. Turkey abolished seasonal clock changes in September 2016, moving to a permanent UTC+03:00 so the whole country stays on what was formerly summer time. That leaves Istanbul, which sits close to 29°E, on an offset well ahead of its solar time — sunrise in mid-winter comes after 08:30 local. TRT shares its offset with Moscow Standard Time, Arabia Standard Time and East Africa Time, so Istanbul is level with Moscow and Riyadh all year and one hour ahead of Central European Time during the European winter.
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).
Best time to call between TRT and Nepal
Both TRT and Nepal sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–2:15 PM TRT, which is 11:45 AM–5:00 PM NPT. That gives roughly 5 hours and 15 minutes of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.
Business hours overlap
TRT and Nepal share 5 hours of working-hours overlap (9:00 AM–2:15 PM TRT), so scheduling a live meeting is straightforward.
TRT is 2 hours 45 minutes ahead of Nepal (TRT UTC+03:00 → NPT UTC+05:45). The shared working window is 9:00 AM–2:15 PM TRT. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
