Understanding Nepali Land Measurement Units
Nepal uses two primary traditional systems for land measurement, which vary by geographical region. Understanding these is key to interpreting land documents and making accurate conversions.
The Ropani System (Hilly Region)
The Ropani system is prevalent in Kathmandu Valley and the surrounding hilly regions of Nepal. It is subdivided into smaller units for precise measurements. Our Ropani to Aana converter is based on this official hierarchy:
- 1 Ropani = 16 Aana
- 1 Aana = 4 Paisa
- 1 Paisa = 4 Daam
- 1 Ropani = 5476 Sq. Feet
The Bigha System (Terai Region)
The Bigha system is used in the flat plains of the Terai region. This system measures larger plots of land and is essential for agricultural and large-scale real estate. Our Bigha to Kattha calculator uses these standard conversions:
- 1 Bigha = 20 Kattha
- 1 Kattha = 20 Dhur
- 1 Bigha = 72900 Sq. Feet
