About the time in Ambatolava
Ambatolava runs on Indian/Antananarivo, which puts the city UTC +3 from Coordinated Universal Time right now.

Clocks in Ambatolava stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +3 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Madagascar.
Ambatolava follows the civil time used across its region of Madagascar; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
