About the ropani

Nepal uses two traditional systems. In the hills and the Kathmandu Valley land is measured in ropani, aana, paisa and daam; in the Terai plains it is bigha, kattha and dhur. One ropani is 5,476 sq ft, a square of 74 ft, or about 508.74 m².

A ropani splits into 16 aana, an aana into 4 paisa and a paisa into 4 daam, so one ropani is 64 paisa or 256 daam. One Terai bigha is about 13.31 ropani, and one hectare is about 19.66 ropani.
