Add comparison cities for your schedule: Click + Add City and search for cities such as London, New York, or Dubai. These comparisons are practical for garment trade coordination, NGO operations, shipping discussions, and expatriate family communication because Bangladesh often works with partners in the UK, Gulf region, and North America.
Drag across the grid to compare working hours: Click Select to enter selection mode, then drag across Pālang’s row from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM to highlight a morning meeting window. On a standard time comparison, that shows 3:00 AM to 5:00 AM in London during UK winter, 10:00 PM to 12:00 AM in New York the previous day during Eastern Standard Time, and 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Dubai, helping you quickly see that Gulf business hours overlap much better than US East Coast hours.
Export the selected meeting window: After selecting a range, use the export options for ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link. This is especially helpful when sending a confirmed call time to a distributed team, because each recipient will see the meeting converted into their own local time instead of manually calculating Bangladesh Standard Time.
About Pālang Time Zone
Pālang uses the Asia/Dhaka IANA time zone, which is the standard time zone for all of Bangladesh. The city runs on Bangladesh Standard Time (BST) with a fixed UTC+6 offset, meaning local time in Pālang is always 6 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time. If it is 12:00 PM UTC, it is 6:00 PM in Pālang.
Bangladesh does not currently observe daylight saving time, so Pālang stays on UTC+6 year-round. This makes scheduling more predictable than in countries where clocks shift in March and October or March and November. While Bangladesh briefly experimented with daylight saving time in 2009, that practice is no longer in use, so there are no seasonal clock changes to track for Pālang.
Geographically, Pālang is in Bangladesh, in the central-southern part of the country, and shares the same national time as major cities such as Dhaka, Chattogram, and Khulna.
