Understanding the +7h 15m Gap: Nepal vs New Zealand

Nepal runs on Nepal Time (NPT) at UTC+05:45. New Zealand runs on New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT) at UTC+13:00, also currently on daylight saving time. That puts Nepal 7 hours 15 minutes ahead of New Zealand — a difference of +7h 15m at the current offsets.

In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in Nepal it is 4:15 PM in New Zealand. Midnight in Nepal is 7:15 AM in New Zealand.New Zealand observes daylight saving time while Nepal does not, so the gap narrows or widens by an hour part of the year.

Why people convert Nepal to New Zealand time

Scheduling a call from Nepal to New Zealand: a 10:00 AM start in Nepal lands at 5:15 PM in New Zealand, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Nepal and New Zealand are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 9:45 AM NPT time (4:15 PM–5:00 PM NZDT). That is roughly 0 hours 45 minutes of usable overlap.
Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in Nepal is 3:15 AM in New Zealand makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM NPT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +7h 15m gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–9:45 AM NPT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Nepal and need New Zealand colleagues present.
New Zealand: Clocks fall back on Sat, Apr 3, 2027. Any meeting series spanning that date will shift by an hour in local time.

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 NZST (New Zealand Standard Time)

New Zealand Standard Time (NZST) is the standard time zone for New Zealand and its dependencies. New Zealand is among the first countries to see a new calendar day. During summer (September to April), clocks advance to New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT, UTC+13:00).

Best time to call between Nepal and New Zealand

Both Nepal and New Zealand sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–9:45 AM NPT, which is 4:15 PM–5:00 PM NZDT. That gives roughly 0 hours and 45 minutes of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.

Business hours overlap

Nepal and New Zealand overlap for only 45 minutes (9:00 AM–9:45 AM NPT), so meetings have to be booked precisely.

Nepal is 7 hours 15 minutes ahead of New Zealand (NPT UTC+05:45 → NZDT UTC+13:00). The shared working window is 9:00 AM–9:45 AM NPT. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
