Time difference between Manila and Karachi

Karachi is 3 hours behind Manila

Manila, the Philippines is UTC+8 · Karachi, Pakistan is UTC+5 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Manila does not change its clocks and Karachi does not change its clocks — so 3 hours is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.
