Why people convert Vancouver to NPT time

Scheduling a call from Vancouver to NPT: a 10:00 AM start in Vancouver lands at 10:45 PM in NPT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a +12h 45m gap: Vancouver and NPT 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 NPT is 9:45 PM in Vancouver.
Watching a live event or market open: Vancouver viewers need 9:45 PM in NPT to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 11:15 AM if the event is anchored to Vancouver.

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 Vancouver takes the early slot, the next week NPT does.

About PST (Pacific Standard Time)

Pacific Standard Time (PST) covers the west coast of North America, including tech hubs like San Francisco and Seattle, and entertainment capital Los Angeles. The Pacific Time Zone is home to Silicon Valley and the world's largest technology companies. During summer, clocks advance to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC-07:00). PST is also observed in Baja California, Mexico.

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).
