Ramadan 2027 in Gilgit, Pakistan

Sehri and Iftar in Gilgit

For Gilgit, the evening fast opens at local sunset, shown as 5:15 pm today. The pre-dawn cutoff is calculated separately from the Fajr setting; sunrise is not used as the start of the fast. The page uses Gilgit’s coordinates (35.92, 74.31) and the Asia/Karachi time zone.

Sunrise-to-sunset daylight in Gilgit lasts 10 hours 56 minutes today. Across the June and December solstices that daylight span differs by about 4 hours 53 minutes at this latitude. That helps explain why Ramadan feels very different when the lunar month returns in another season, but it should not be read as the fasting duration because Fajr occurs before sunrise.

For comparison, sunset in Karachi is 5:56 pm today, 42 minutes later than in Gilgit. Travellers should therefore switch to the timetable for the place where they are actually observing the fast rather than carrying one city’s times across Pakistan.

This timetable uses the Karachi prayer calculation setting. The calculation notes explain how the site handles Fajr, Isha and unusual daylight conditions, so that general methodology is not repeated on every location page.
