About this tool & FAQ
Why Nepal has two different land-unit systems
Nepal's hilly and mountain regions traditionally measure land in Ropani-Aana-Paisa-Daam, while the flat Terai plains use Bigha-Kattha-Dhur. Both systems predate the metric system and are still the units printed on land ownership certificates (lalpurja), survey (kitta) records, and real-estate listings today — so anyone buying, selling, or inheriting land in Nepal regularly needs to convert between them, or into square feet or square metres to compare against a metric quote.
How this converter works
Every unit is defined as a fixed multiple of square feet (1 Ropani = 5,476 sq ft; 1 Bigha = 72,900 sq ft; 1 Kattha = 3,645 sq ft; 1 square metre = 10.7639 sq ft), following the standard equivalences published by Nepal's Department of Land Management and Archive. Type an amount into any field — a Ropani count, a Bigha count, or a raw square-foot or square-metre figure — and every other field updates instantly using that same fixed conversion, including the sub-unit breakdown (e.g. exactly how many Aana and Paisa are left over after the whole Ropani are counted).
Example
1 Bigha (the Terai standard plot unit) equals roughly 13.31 Ropani — enter 1 in the Bigha field and the Ropani-Aana-Paisa-Daam breakdown appears immediately, alongside the equivalent in square feet, square metres, acres, and hectares.
नेपालमा दुई फरक जग्गा नाप प्रणाली किन?
पहाडी र हिमाली क्षेत्रमा रोपनी-आना-पैसा-दाम प्रयोग हुन्छ भने तराईमा बिघा-कट्ठा-धुर। दुवै प्रणाली लालपुर्जा, कित्ता नापी अभिलेख, र घरजग्गा किनबेचमा आजसम्म प्रयोग हुन्छन्, त्यसैले यी दुई बीच वा वर्गफिट/वर्गमिटरमा परिवर्तन गर्नुपर्ने आवश्यकता बारम्बार पर्छ।
प्रयोग विधि
जुनसुकै एकाइमा (रोपनी, बिघा, वर्गफिट, वा वर्गमिटर) संख्या हाल्नुहोस् — बाँकी सबै एकाइहरू तुरुन्तै अद्यावधिक हुन्छन्, नेपाल सरकारको जग्गा प्रशासन कार्यालयले प्रकाशित गरेको स्थिर रूपान्तरण दरमा आधारित।
FAQ
- What's the difference between the Ropani and Bigha systems?
- Ropani-Aana-Paisa-Daam is used in Nepal's hilly and mountain regions; Bigha-Kattha-Dhur is used in the flat Terai plains. Both are legally valid units and appear on official land documents depending on where the land is located.
- Are the conversion factors exact or approximate?
- They're fixed, exact multiples of a common square-feet basis (e.g. 1 Ropani = 5,476 sq ft, 1 Bigha = 72,900 sq ft) — the same standard equivalences published by Nepal's Department of Land Management and Archive, not estimates.
- Can I convert directly from Ropani to Bigha?
- Yes — enter a value in any field (Ropani, Bigha, square feet, or square metres) and every other unit, including the sub-unit breakdown, updates from the same shared square-feet total.
- Is my data sent to a server?
- No — the conversion runs entirely in your browser.
