How prayer times are calculated in Nepal

Times for Nepal use the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 18° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC+5:45). In the capital Kathmandu, Fajr is around 3:36 AM and Maghrib 7:02 PM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:26 AM and Maghrib at 5:13 PM. Daylight there ranges from 10 h 23 min to 13 h 54 min.

Our cities in Nepal stretch from Mahendranagar in the west to Bhadrapur in the east, and from Dārchulā in the north to Biratnagar in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Bhadrapur about 32 minutes before Mahendranagar, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also differs between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Kathmandu cannot replace that of your own city.

Ramadan in Nepal

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected on 8 February 2027), the fast in Kathmandu lasts roughly 12 h 22 min at the start of the month and 13 h 06 min at the end, with imsak at 5:17 AM and iftar at 5:50 PM on the first day. Times differ from one city to another, so open your city’s page for its exact Ramadan timetable.

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 you can print and links to nearby cities.
