# When can I ring Karachi from London?

Karachi keeps one time all year. The gap moves only when London changes its clocks, in late March and late October.

Your morning is their afternoon, so a call before or during your lunch break usually finds them awake and not yet winding down.

## Through the year

We assume you are up from 7:00 to 22:00 and that 9:00 to 21:00 is a fair time for them to take a call. Change the hours in the tool above if they keep others.
