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.
