Kathmandu follows Nepal Time (UTC+5:45) year-round. Los Angeles uses Pacific Time, which is UTC-8 from roughly November to March, and UTC-7 from roughly March to November due to daylight saving time. This means Los Angeles is typically 13 hours 45 minutes behind Kathmandu in winter and 12 hours 45 minutes behind in summer.

For flights from Kathmandu to Los Angeles via Singapore, we recommend arriving at Tribhuvan International Airport at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks, and immigration, especially during busy travel periods.

Visa requirements for travel from Kathmandu to Los Angeles depend on your nationality, passport type, and the purpose and duration of your stay. We recommend checking the latest entry requirements with the relevant authorities or your nearest embassy or consulate before you travel.

When connecting in Singapore, you generally remain in the transit area if your bags are checked through to Los Angeles and you hold boarding passes for both sectors. Follow the transit signs, check the departure screens for your gate, and allow time to move between terminals if required.
