Nepal land measurement converter
Convert Ropani, Aana, Paisa, Daam, Bigha, Kattha and Dhur
Convert traditional hill-region and Terai-region land units into square feet and square metres. Enter the values in the matching section; the tool calculates each system independently so an empty square-foot field does not hide the hill-unit result.
How to use this calculator
- For hill measurements, enter Ropani, Aana, Paisa and Daam in the first section.
- For a known square-foot area, enter the total in the square-feet section to see equivalent hill and Terai units.
- For Terai measurements, enter Bigha, Kattha and Dhur in the final section.
- Compare the square-foot and square-metre totals, then check the unit convention used in the original land record.
Formula and worked example
Hill: 1 Ropani = 5,476 sq ft = 16 Aana = 64 Paisa = 256 Daam. Terai: 1 Bigha = 72,900 sq ft = 20 Kattha = 400 Dhur.
1 Ropani + 8 Aana = 5,476 + (8 × 342.25) = 8,214 square feet. One Bigha equals 72,900 square feet under the common Terai conversion.
Accuracy and important limitations
These are standard unit conversions, not a land survey or title verification. Plot boundaries, official recorded area and local cadastral details must be confirmed with the relevant Land Revenue Office or Survey Office before a purchase, sale or legal filing.
