Nepal clock changes in 2026
Nepal does not use daylight saving time, so its local clock stays fixed through 2026. Time differences with daylight saving countries can still change by 1 hour. Clock change dates come from the IANA time zone database.
Clock change rules for Nepal come from the time zone database. Use this section to check whether the local UTC offset changes during 2026.
Nepal keeps an offset of its own.
No other country runs on UTC+5:45, so the clock in Kathmandu matches nowhere else in the world. Every other country and its current time is on the countries page.
