Why people convert Dhaka to NPT time

Scheduling a call from Dhaka to NPT: a 10:00 AM start in Dhaka lands at 9:45 AM in NPT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Dhaka and NPT are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:15 AM and 5:00 PM BDST time (9:00 AM–4:45 PM NPT). That is roughly 7 hours 45 minutes of usable overlap.
Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in Dhaka is 7:45 PM in NPT makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM BDST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -0h 15m gap is not.
Block 9:15 AM–5:00 PM BDST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Dhaka and need NPT colleagues present.

About BDST (Bangladesh Standard Time)

Bangladesh Standard Time (BDST) is the single time zone used across Bangladesh, fixed at UTC+06:00 all year. Bangladesh has not observed daylight saving time since a short-lived experiment in 2009, so the gap between Bangladesh and every other zone is constant. Dhaka, the capital, is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Because the country sits close to the middle of the UTC+06:00 band, solar noon is near 12:00 for most of the year. BDST is listed separately from British Summer Time, which shares the BST abbreviation but is UTC+01:00.

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 Dhaka and NPT

Both Dhaka and NPT sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:15 AM–5:00 PM BDST, which is 9:00 AM–4:45 PM NPT. That gives roughly 7 hours and 45 minutes of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.
