About the time in Dhankuta
Dhankuta sits at latitude 27.02, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 59m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:29 and sunset at 06:28 local time, giving 12h 59m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (27.02, 87.31) 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.
