Malé×Tegucigalpa
Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Malé uses the MVR (.ރ) and Tegucigalpa uses the HNL (L). Language shifts too — Maldivian in Malé, Spanish in Tegucigalpa. Be careful behind the wheel: Malé drives on the left, Tegucigalpa on the right.

What's the time difference between Malé and Tegucigalpa?
Malé is 11 hours behind Tegucigalpa. Malé runs on GMT+5 and Tegucigalpa on GMT-6. The gap can shift by an hour when either side enters or leaves daylight saving — the live clocks above always reflect the current offset.
When's the best time to schedule a meeting?
Standard 09:00–17:00 workdays don't intersect. Most teams compromise with one side meeting early (before 09:00) or late (after 17:00).
Does daylight saving time change the difference?
Yes, if either city observes DST. When one side shifts and the other doesn't, the gap changes by one hour. The DST badges under each clock show whether each zone is currently shifted and when the next transition lands.
