BST and NPT on the World Map
The map below highlights the BST (British Summer Time) and NPT (Nepal Time) timezone regions across the globe.
BST – British Summer Time
UTC+01:00British Summer Time (BST, UTC+01:00) is the daylight saving period in the United Kingdom, running from late March to late October.
- •BST runs from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October.
- •BST is exactly one hour ahead of GMT, the UK's standard time.
- •During BST, London is 4 hours ahead of New York while the US is on Eastern Daylight Time.
- •The Isle of Man and the Channel Islands also observe BST.
NPT – Nepal Time
UTC+05:45Nepal Time (NPT, UTC+05:45) is the time zone for Nepal — one of the few offsets in the world set on a 45-minute increment.
- •Nepal Time is UTC+05:45 — a 45-minute offset, not a whole or half hour.
- •The 45-minute offset was adopted in 1986 to match Kathmandu's solar time.
- •Nepal does not observe daylight saving time.
- •Nepal is 15 minutes ahead of India, despite sharing a long open border.
Comparing Time Zones: BST and Nepal
BST runs on British Summer Time (BST) at UTC+01:00. Nepal runs on Nepal Time (NPT) at UTC+05:45. That puts BST 4 hours 45 minutes ahead of Nepal — a difference of +4h 45m at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in BST it is 1:45 PM in Nepal. Midnight in BST is 4:45 AM in Nepal. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert BST to Nepal time
- Scheduling a call from BST to Nepal: a 10:00 AM start in BST lands at 2:45 PM in Nepal, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both BST and Nepal are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 12:15 PM BST time (1:45 PM–5:00 PM NPT). That is roughly 3 hours 15 minutes of usable overlap.
- Booking travel or deliveries: tracking Nepal local time against BST keeps pickup windows and arrival estimates honest across the +4h 45m offset.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM BST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +4h 45m gap is not.
- Block 9:00 AM–12:15 PM BST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from BST and need Nepal colleagues present.
About BST (British Summer Time)
British Summer Time (BST) is the daylight saving period in the United Kingdom, when clocks move one hour forward from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+00:00) to UTC+01:00. It runs from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all follow it, along with the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey. During BST, London is one hour ahead of UTC, four hours ahead of New York on Eastern Daylight Time, and five hours ahead of New York once the United States returns to Eastern Standard Time in November. BST is also used to abbreviate Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+06:00), which is listed separately on this site.
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 BST and Nepal
Both BST and Nepal sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–12:15 PM BST, which is 1:45 PM–5:00 PM NPT. That gives roughly 3 hours and 15 minutes of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.
Business hours overlap
BST and Nepal overlap for about 3 hours during the working day — enough for meetings if you avoid the edges of the window.
BST is 4 hours 45 minutes ahead of Nepal (BST UTC+01:00 → NPT UTC+05:45). The shared working window is 9:00 AM–12:15 PM BST. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
