About the Nepali land converter
Nepal uses two traditional land-measurement systems. This converter turns any area between them and the metric and imperial units, so a plot quoted in Ropani-Aana can be compared with one quoted in Bigha-Kattha or in square feet. Enter a value in any one system and the others reset automatically, so you always convert a single area cleanly; within a system you can still combine units, such as 2 Ropani 5 Aana.
Ropani system (hilly region) vs Bigha system (Terai)
The Ropani system is used in the hills and mountains, including the Kathmandu Valley. The Bigha system is used in the Terai (plains). Their units break down as follows:
Ropani system
- 1 Ropani = 16 Aana = 5,476 sq.ft = 508.74 m²
- 1 Aana = 4 Paisa = 342.25 sq.ft
- 1 Paisa = 4 Daam = 85.56 sq.ft
- 1 Daam = 21.39 sq.ft
Bigha system
- 1 Bigha = 20 Kattha = 72,900 sq.ft = 6,772.63 m²
- 1 Kattha = 20 Dhur = 3,645 sq.ft
- 1 Dhur = 182.25 sq.ft
- 1 Bigha ≈ 13.31 Ropani
How to convert land units
- Type the area into any field - for example Ropani, Bigha, or square feet.
- Read the equivalent in every other unit in the results above.
- Switching to a different system clears the others, so the result always reflects one area.
Frequently asked questions
How many square feet are in 1 Ropani?
1 Ropani equals 5,476 square feet (about 508.74 square metres). It is made up of 16 Aana, and 1 Aana is 342.25 square feet.
How many Ropani are in 1 Bigha?
1 Bigha is about 13.31 Ropani. In exact terms 1 Bigha = 72,900 square feet and 1 Ropani = 5,476 square feet, so 72,900 / 5,476 = 13.31 Ropani.
What are Aana, Paisa and Daam?
They are the smaller units of the hilly Ropani system: 1 Ropani = 16 Aana, 1 Aana = 4 Paisa, and 1 Paisa = 4 Daam. So 1 Ropani = 64 Paisa = 256 Daam.
What are Kattha and Dhur?
They are the smaller units of the Terai Bigha system: 1 Bigha = 20 Kattha and 1 Kattha = 20 Dhur. So 1 Bigha = 400 Dhur.
Which land unit is used in which part of Nepal?
The Ropani-Aana-Paisa-Daam system is used in the hilly and mountain regions (including Kathmandu Valley), while the Bigha-Kattha-Dhur system is used in the Terai (plains).
Is this Nepali land converter free and accurate?
Yes, it is free and needs no sign-up. Conversions use the exact square-foot definitions of each unit (1 Ropani = 5,476 sq.ft, 1 Bigha = 72,900 sq.ft) and the international foot for square metres.
