Made to share

Add this Nepal clock to your website

A responsive widget—not an iframe. Paste the code into a custom HTML block. It fits its container, works without an account, and keeps its styles separate from your site.

Live preview

Load the script once per page. You can add multiple widgets. The widget itself includes no ads, analytics, or tracking cookies.

The public embed URL will work after these changes are deployed. Site builders must allow custom scripts.

What time zone does Nepal use?

Kathmandu and all of Nepal use Nepal Standard Time (NPT), UTC+05:45. Nepal is 5 hours and 45 minutes ahead of UTC and 15 minutes ahead of India.

Does Nepal observe daylight saving time?

No. Nepal’s offset stays at UTC+05:45 throughout the year. Countries that change their clocks can have different time differences from Nepal in summer and winter. The city clocks above account for those changes automatically.

Why does this show Nepal time when I’m abroad?

The clock formats the current instant using the Asia/Kathmandu time zone, instead of your browser’s local time zone. Both the English date and the Nepali date follow the day in Nepal—even if it is still yesterday where you are.

Nepal’s time-zone history

The IANA time-zone database records Kathmandu local mean time at UTC+05:41:16 before 1920, UTC+05:30 from 1920, and UTC+05:45 from 1986.

How do I set Nepal time on my device?

Enable automatic date and time, then select Kathmandu or Asia/Kathmandu in your time-zone settings. You do not need a seasonal daylight saving adjustment.

USEFUL ANSWERS

Using Nepal time for calls and websites

Is this clock synchronised with an atomic time server?

No. It uses your device’s current instant and formats it in Asia/Kathmandu. It displays Nepal time regardless of your browsing location, but an incorrect device clock can still produce an incorrect result. Enable automatic date and time on your device.

Why can the Nepal date differ from my local date?

The same instant can fall on different calendar days in different time zones. The BS and AD dates on this page follow the day in Kathmandu, not the local day on your device. This matters when it is near midnight in either location.

Why does the difference from London or New York change?

Those locations can change their clocks for daylight saving while Nepal stays at UTC+05:45. The city comparison uses time-zone rules for the current instant. For a future meeting, check the difference on the meeting date rather than reusing today’s difference.

Can the Nepal clock be embedded on another site?

Yes. Use the widget builder on this page to choose the appearance and hour format, then copy the responsive script-based embed. The widget follows Kathmandu time and still relies on the visitor’s device clock.
