Hi i am a nepali developer and i saw a small typo here in the official
supported timezone list. The correct spelling should be "Asia/Kathmandu"
and not "Asia/katmandu".

It looks to me like both spellings are accepted already:

regression=# select * from pg_timezone_names where name ilike 'asia/kat%';
name | abbrev | utc_offset | is_dst
----------------+--------+------------+--------
Asia/Kathmandu | +0545 | 05:45:00 | f
Asia/Katmandu | +0545 | 05:45:00 | f
