About the time in Dhankuta
Sunrise today lands at 05:30 and sunset at 06:26 local time, giving 12h 56m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (26.98, 87.33) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Dhankuta.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Dhankuta day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 03:15–11:15 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Clocks in Dhankuta stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +5:45 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Nepal.
