Offsets shown at local noon on the 15th of each month, 2026. Exact transition instants are listed below.

What these numbers can—and cannot—tell you.
The live clock converts your device’s time with your browser’s IANA-based time zone data. It does not independently synchronize your clock. The solar calculations use SunCalc with representative city-center coordinates; civil sunrise and sunset are approximate horizon events, not weather forecasts.
Our date-aware calculations are more useful than treating Kathmandu as a permanently fixed abbreviation. For calendar software, use Asia/Kathmandu. For a one-off invitation, include the full date and a shared conversion link. Read the methodology and data limitations.
