About Nepal Land Measurement Systems

Nepal uses two traditional land measurement systems alongside the international metric system. The Pahad (Hill) system with Ropani-Aana-Paisa-Daam is predominantly used in Kathmandu Valley and hilly regions. The Terai (Plains) system with Bigha-Kattha-Dhur is used in southern plains. Understanding these conversions is essential for property transactions, land registration, and real estate dealings in Nepal.

Tips for Land Measurement in Nepal

  • Modern land registration certificates show area in both local and metric units
  • For large land purchases, hire a licensed surveyor (Naapjanchakaar) for accurate measurement
  • Land prices in Nepal are typically quoted per Ropani (Kathmandu) or per Kattha (Terai)

Note: These conversions use standard government-approved conversion factors. Slight variations may exist in historical documents. Always verify with official land records for legal transactions.
