About this tool
Nepal uses two systems. In the hills and the Kathmandu Valley: 1 ropani = 16 aana = 64 paisa = 256 dam, and 1 ropani is 5,476 sq ft (about 508.74 sq m). In the Terai: 1 bigha = 20 kattha = 400 dhur, and 1 bigha is 72,900 sq ft (about 6,772.63 sq m).
The Terai kattha and bigha are different from the kattha and bigha used in Bangladesh and West Bengal, so they are marked “Nepal Terai” here.
Examples
- 1 ropani is 5,476 sq ft and 508.737 sq m.
- 1 aana is 342.25 sq ft.
- 1 bigha is 13.312637 ropani.
Tips
- Use the table to see a plot in both hill and Terai units.
- Use Swap units to convert the other way.
- For legal or sale documents, trust the area on the official record and check it with a surveyor.
