Prayer times in Bhutan

Prayer times by region in Bhutan

Our pages in Bhutan are organised in 20 regions. Choose your region, then your city: each page has its own coordinates, so the times differ by a few minutes from one place to the next, from east to west and north to south.

How prayer times are calculated in Bhutan

Pages for Bhutan use the Muslim World League method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC+6). In the capital Thimphu, Fajr is around 3:34 AM and Maghrib 7:00 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:24 AM and Maghrib at 5:11 PM. Daylight there ranges from 10 h 24 min to 13 h 53 min.

Our cities in Bhutan stretch from Samtse in the west to Tashigang in the east, and from Gasa in the north to Samdrup Jongkhar in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Tashigang about 10 minutes before Samtse, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of Thimphu cannot replace that of your own city.

Ramadan in Bhutan

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected on 8 February 2027), the fast in Thimphu lasts about 12 h 23 min at the start of the month and 13 h 06 min at the end, with imsak at 5:15 AM and iftar at 5:48 PM on the first day. These times change from one city to another, so open your city’s page for the exact imsak and iftar times.

To find your city quickly, type its name in the search box at the top of the page, or browse the regions above. On every page you will find today’s times with a countdown, a monthly timetable ready to print and links to nearby cities.
