About the time in Punākha
Around 21,500 people live in Punākha, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Punākha runs on Asia/Thimphu, which puts the city UTC +6 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.
Sunrise today lands at 05:34 and sunset at 06:33 local time, giving 13h 00m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (27.59, 89.88) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Punākha.
