Papua New Guinea operates on Papua New Guinea Time (PGT), which is 10 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+10). Papua New Guinea does not observe daylight saving time, so the time remains consistent throughout the year.
Most of Papua New Guinea follows the same timezone (UTC+10), including the capital Port Moresby and major cities like Lae and Mount Hagen. The autonomous region of Bougainville uses its own time zone (UTC+11), which is one hour ahead of the rest of the country.
Papua New Guinea is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world, with over 850 indigenous languages spoken. The country shares the island of New Guinea with Indonesia and is home to some of the world's last uncontacted tribes. Its tropical rainforests contain an incredible variety of unique wildlife, including birds of paradise.
