Why people convert PDT to Kathmandu time
- Scheduling a call from PDT to Kathmandu: a 10:00 AM start in PDT lands at 10:45 PM in Kathmandu, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a +12h 45m gap: PDT and Kathmandu have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in Kathmandu is 9:45 PM in PDT.
- Watching a live event or market open: PDT viewers need 9:45 PM in Kathmandu to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 11:15 AM if the event is anchored to PDT.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM PDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +12h 45m gap is not.
- With a +12h 45m gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week PDT takes the early slot, the next week Kathmandu does.
About PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)
Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) is observed from March to November on the Pacific coast. During PDT, the west coast is 7 hours behind UTC and only 2 hours behind the east coast's EDT.
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 PDT and Kathmandu
