About the Nepali land unit converter
Land in Nepal is measured in traditional units that differ between the hills and the Terai, and dealing with a land deed, a plot listing or a bank valuation often means switching between those units and modern metric or imperial area. This converter handles every common Nepali unit at once — Ropani, Aana, Paisa and Daam in the hills, Bigha, Kattha and Dhur in the Terai — alongside square feet and square metres, and it breaks a value into the traditional compound format.
Hill and Terai systems
The hill system, used in the Kathmandu Valley and across the hills, runs 1 Ropani = 16 Aana = 64 Paisa = 256 Daam. The Terai system runs 1 Bigha = 20 Kattha = 400 Dhur. The two chains meet through their square-foot equivalents, so any value can be expressed in either.
Standard conversion factors
One Ropani is 5,476 square feet (508.72 square metres), one Aana is 342.25 square feet, one Bigha is 72,900 square feet and one Kattha is 3,645 square feet. The converter uses these survey factors, so results match those used by land offices and valuers.
Compound readings
Alongside the flat figure, the tool shows the traditional form — for example "1 Ropani 3 Aana 2 Paisa" — which is how sizes appear on many deeds and property listings.
