"Nepal follows a unique time zone known as Nepal Time (NPT), which is UTC+5:45. This means that Nepal's time is 5 hours and 45 minutes ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Most countries set their time zones in whole-hour increments, like UTC+5:00 or UTC+6:00, but Nepal is different because it uses a 45-minute offset instead of the usual 30-minute or 60-minute adjustments.
This unusual time setting dates back to 1956, when Nepal decided to base its official time on the longitude of Mount Gaurishankar (east of Kathmandu) instead of its capital. This led to the extra 15-minute shift from the more common UTC+5:30, which countries like India and Sri Lanka follow. The decision reflects Nepal’s independence in setting its own time rather than following its neighbors.
Because of this, Nepal stands out as one of the few places in the world with a 45-minute time zone offset, making it a unique feature in global timekeeping. This difference can sometimes cause confusion when setting clocks, scheduling flights, or adjusting digital devices. However, for Nepal, this small but significant difference symbolizes its sovereignty and national identity."
Is like lgtv+ I have nothing to prove, nothing in my head, nobody cares what I do in my bedroom, but I have blue and green hair.
This is Nepal. I have nothing but a big mountain with a few monks on it, but I don't put myself in line with the world. I am independent and I keep 15 minutes for a masturbation.
Yeah, well the French and English engineers building the channel tunnel did not think our antiquated system of measurement was stupid....after they figured out the two side were not going to meet and called us to fix it.
Bash my country if you want,, it just makes you petty and small.
Thanks for the into into your stupidity just because YOU refuse to understand something doesn't mean you can belittle it.
