About the time in Bhaktapur
Bhaktapur follows the civil time used across its region of Nepal; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Bhaktapur runs on Asia/Kathmandu, which puts the city UTC +5:45 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
The zone identifier Asia/Kathmandu is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Kathmandu keeps pointing at Kathmandu time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
