EDT: UTC-4

Eastern Time is currently observing daylight saving time; Nepal Time is not.
When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Eastern Time and Nepal Time don't overlap on the same weekday. Nepal Time is 10 hours ahead of Eastern Time.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 7 AM–11 AM in Eastern Time (4 PM–8 PM in Nepal Time) — suggest 9:00 AM Eastern Time (6:45 PM Nepal Time).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.
This window may shift by an hour during daylight saving time.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
