The hilly land measurement system
In the hilly regions of Nepal, land is measured in Ropani, Aana, Paisa and Daam. One Ropani equals 16 Aana, each Aana is 4 Paisa, and each Paisa is 4 Daam — so one Ropani contains 256 Daam. In area terms, 1 Ropani ≈ 5,476 square feet or about 508.72 square metres. This converter turns any mix of these units into square feet and square metres and back into a clean breakdown.
Terai vs. hilly systems
This tool covers the hilly system used in Kathmandu and most mid-hill districts. The Terai (plains) uses a different system based on Bigha, Kattha and Dhur. If your land document uses Bigha, you will need the Terai converter instead — the two systems are not interchangeable.
