About the time in Bhaktapur
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.
Sunrise today lands at 05:37 and sunset at 06:34 local time, giving 12h 57m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (27.67, 85.43) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Bhaktapur.
Bhaktapur sits at latitude 27.67, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 57m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
