EST is 10 hours and 45 minutes behind NPT.

EST is US Eastern winter time (early November to mid-March). The rest of the year New York uses EDT (UTC-4), one hour later. For Eastern Time that follows daylight saving time, use ET to NPT. For daylight-time examples, use EDT to NPT.

How the time difference changes

For most of the year, EDT is 9 hours and 45 minutes behind NPT. From Nov 1, 2026 to Mar 14, 2027, EST is 10 hours and 45 minutes behind NPT.

For most of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 6:00 pm in EDT correspond to 6:45 pm to 3:45 am (next day) in NPT. At other times of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 6:00 pm in EST correspond to 7:45 pm to 4:45 am (next day) in NPT.For most of the year, working hours of 09:00 to 18:00 in EDT correspond to 18:45 to 03:45 (next day) in NPT. At other times of the year, working hours of 09:00 to 18:00 in EST correspond to 19:45 to 04:45 (next day) in NPT.

8:00 am08:00 Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). Offset UTC -4:00 hours
5:45 pm17:45 Nepal Time (NPT). Offset UTC +5:45 hours
