The Time in Kathmandu, Explained
Everything you need about Kathmandu time: the zone it uses, whether the clocks change, and how to convert it.

Does Kathmandu observe daylight saving time?
No — Kathmandu stays on the same offset all year with no daylight-saving changes, so the gap to other places only moves when the other side changes its clocks.

Can I trust the time shown for Kathmandu?
It’s calculated from the IANA time zone database — the same source your phone and computer rely on — not a fixed number that drifts when the rules change. So the Kathmandu time here stays correct through daylight-saving switches and into the future.
