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 MDT
Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) is UTC−6. It is used in Denver and Salt Lake City from March to November.
Mountain Daylight Time is UTC−6, the summer clock for Denver and Salt Lake City. During those months it coincides with Central Standard Time, which is a genuine source of confusion in a country that spans both: a meeting at "6pm MDT" and one at "6pm CST" are the same instant, but the second is not a time anyone is actually on in summer.
Does this gap change with the seasons?
This gap is seasonal. The abbreviations themselves are fixed offsets, but the region on MDT switches to MST (UTC−7) from November to March. So the 11.75-hour figure on this page is correct for the part of the year when both places are actually on these abbreviations, and changes by an hour outside it.
NPT does not shift, so the whole change comes from one side. A recurring meeting fixed in NPT will appear to move by an hour for everyone on the other side, twice a year, without anyone changing anything.
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 MDT ahead of NPT?
MDT is 11 hours 45 minutes behind NPT.
