Pokhara sits at around 820 metres, and Annapurna I rises to 8,091 metres about 45 km away — one of the steepest elevation gains over such a short horizontal distance anywhere on Earth. Annapurna also has the highest fatality rate of any 8,000-metre peak.
The clock: Nepal keeps UTC+5:45, the only country on a 45-minute offset, set deliberately to the meridian of Gaurishankar mountain.
Pokhara lies at 84.0°E. Its time zone, UTC+5:45, is built around the 86.25°E meridian. The 2.3° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 9 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:09 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+5:45 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 13h 56m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 21m. The swing between them is 3h 35m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Pokhara the sun comes up earliest on 11 June at 05:11, while the latest sunset waits until 3 July at 19:10. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Pokhara that civil twilight runs about 23 minutes at the equinox.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
