About AKST
Alaska Standard Time (AKST) is UTC−9. It is used in Anchorage and the rest of Alaska in winter.
Alaska Standard Time is UTC−9, one hour behind Pacific Standard Time. Alaska observes daylight saving on the US schedule, moving to AKDT at UTC−8 in summer. The state is wide enough to span four time zones geographically and chooses to run on one for practical reasons, which is why the sun can rise at very different clock times at either end of it.
About NPT
Nepal Time (NPT) is UTC+5:45. It is used in Nepal, all year.
Nepal Time is UTC+5:45 — the only zone in the world offset by three quarters of an hour, set so that noon falls over Kathmandu rather than over the Indian meridian fifteen minutes away. It breaks almost every piece of software that stores offsets in whole or half hours, and it is fifteen minutes ahead of India rather than the round number people assume.
Does this gap change with the seasons?
Neither AKST nor NPT shifts with the seasons, so this 14.75-hour difference holds all year. That is unusual enough to be worth relying on: most cross-continental gaps move twice a year.
This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.
Frequently asked questions
What time is 9:00 AM AKST in NPT?
9:00 AM AKST is 11:45 PM NPT.
Is NPT ahead of AKST?
NPT is 14 hours 45 minutes ahead of AKST.
Which time zone does this use?
AKST is UTC−9 and NPT is UTC+5:45. Both abbreviations denote a single fixed offset, so this conversion never shifts with daylight saving — what changes is which abbreviation a place is using at the time.
