New Zealand vs Nepal: Offsets, DST and Best Call Times

In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in New Zealand it is 1:45 AM in Nepal. Midnight in New Zealand is 4:45 PM in Nepal.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 New Zealand to Nepal time

Scheduling a call from New Zealand to Nepal: a 10:00 AM start in New Zealand lands at 2:45 AM in Nepal, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both New Zealand and Nepal are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 4:15 PM and 5:00 PM NZDT time (9:00 AM–9:45 AM NPT). That is roughly 0 hours 45 minutes of usable overlap.
Coordinating a New Zealand-based team with Nepal 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 NZDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -7h 15m gap is not.
Block 4:15 PM–5:00 PM NZDT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from New Zealand and need Nepal colleagues present.
New Zealand: Clocks fall back on Sat, Apr 3, 2027. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the -7h 15m gap.

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).

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 New Zealand and Nepal

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

Business hours overlap

New Zealand and Nepal overlap for only 45 minutes (4:15 PM–5:00 PM NZDT), so meetings have to be booked precisely.

New Zealand is 7 hours 15 minutes behind Nepal (NZDT UTC+13:00 → NPT UTC+05:45). The shared working window is 4:15 PM–5:00 PM NZDT. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
