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.
About HKT
Hong Kong Time (HKT) is UTC+8. It is used in Hong Kong, and matching mainland China and Taiwan.
Hong Kong Time is UTC+8 and has had no daylight saving since 1979. It shares its offset with mainland China, Singapore, Taiwan, Manila and Perth, which makes UTC+8 the most economically dense single offset in the world — roughly a fifth of the planet's population runs on it, and a meeting scheduled in it reaches an unusual amount of Asia at once.
Does this gap change with the seasons?
Neither NPT nor HKT shifts with the seasons, so this 2.25-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.

Is HKT ahead of NPT?
