Understanding Nepal's Land Measurement Systems
Nepal uniquely utilizes two different traditional land measurement systems depending on the geography. The Ropani system is used extensively in the Hilly regions (including the Kathmandu Valley), while the Bigha system is used in the flat Terai plains.
The Ropani System (Hills/Kathmandu)
The hierarchical breakdown of the Ropani system:
- 1 Ropani = 16 Aana
- 1 Aana = 4 Paisa
- 1 Paisa = 4 Daam
The Bigha System (Terai Plains)
The hierarchical breakdown of the Bigha system:
- 1 Bigha = 20 Kattha
- 1 Kattha = 20 Dhur
- 1 Dhur = ~182.25 Sq.Ft.
