Understanding Nepali Land Units: Ropani vs Bigha
Nepal uses two distinct systems for land measurement depending on the geographical region. In the Hill and Mountain regions (including Kathmandu Valley), the Ropani-Aana system is standard. In the Terai (flatland) region, the Bigha-Kattha system is used.
Our Nepali Land Unit Converter helps you translate these traditional units into modern measurements like Square Feet (sq. ft.) and Square Meters (sq. m.), which are now required for official land valuation and bank loan applications in Nepal.
When to use Ropani?
If your land is located in Kathmandu, Pokhara, or any hilly district, use the Ropani system. 1 Ropani is roughly equal to 508.74 square meters.
When to use Bigha?
If your land is in districts like Jhapa, Morang, Chitwan, or Rupandehi, use the Bigha system. 1 Bigha is about 13.31 Ropani.
