Bishkek is the capital of Kyrgyzstan, with a population of about 900,000. It uses the Kyrgyzstan Time time zone (IANA identifier Asia/Bishkek).
Bishkek does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+6 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Other cities on the same clock include Dhaka, Chittagong.
Because Bishkek lies at 42.87° N, 74.59° E, the length of the day changes strongly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 15 h 21 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 9 h 01 min.
