Time Conversion Guide: Nepal to GST

Nepal runs on Nepal Time (NPT) at UTC+05:45. GST runs on Gulf Standard Time (GST) at UTC+04:00. That puts Nepal 1 hour 45 minutes behind GST — a difference of -1h 45m at the current offsets.

In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in Nepal it is 7:15 AM in GST. Midnight in Nepal is 10:15 PM in GST. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert Nepal to GST time

Scheduling a call from Nepal to GST: a 10:00 AM start in Nepal lands at 8:15 AM in GST, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Nepal and GST are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 10:45 AM and 5:00 PM NPT time (9:00 AM–3:15 PM GST). That is roughly 6 hours 15 minutes of usable overlap.
Coordinating a Nepal-based team with GST 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 -1h 45m gap is not.
Block 10:45 AM–5:00 PM NPT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Nepal and need GST 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 GST (Gulf Standard Time)

Gulf Standard Time (GST) is the time zone used in the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and other Gulf states. GST does not observe daylight saving time. Dubai and Abu Dhabi, major international business and tourism hubs, operate on GST.

Best time to call between Nepal and GST

Both Nepal and GST sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 10:45 AM–5:00 PM NPT, which is 9:00 AM–3:15 PM GST. That gives roughly 6 hours and 15 minutes of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.

Business hours overlap

Nepal and GST share 6 hours of working-hours overlap (10:45 AM–5:00 PM NPT), so scheduling a live meeting is straightforward.

Nepal is 1 hour 45 minutes behind GST (NPT UTC+05:45 → GST UTC+04:00). The shared working window is 10:45 AM–5:00 PM NPT. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
