| UTC Offset: UTC +6 |
Bhutan Time (BTT) operates at UTC+6 and is the official time zone throughout the Kingdom of Bhutan. It is commonly referred to as "Bhutan Standard Time". Bhutan does not observe daylight saving time, so BTT remains fixed year-round, providing a consistent and predictable time reference for the entire country.
Importance and Global Use of BTT
BTT supports a single, unified time standard across all regions of Bhutan, simplifying government administration, education, transportation, and media broadcasting. The fixed UTC+6 offset ensures consistent scheduling and avoids complications related to seasonal clock changes, which is especially important for a geographically compact country.
Internationally, BTT facilitates cross-border trade, tourism, and development cooperation with Bhutan's neighbors, especially India, China, and Bangladesh. Its stable, non-changing time zone helps maintain reliable communication, supply chain operations, and diplomatic coordination, ensuring smooth collaboration with regional and global partners.
