Nepal still measures land in ropani and bigha, gold in tola and rice in mana. This converter knows all of them, plus the usual metric and imperial units, so you can change any value in one tap.

How to use it

- Tap a result to convert from that unit instead.
Examples
1 ropani = 16 aana = 5,476 sq ft = 508.74 square metres.
1 bigha = 20 kattha = 400 dhur = 72,900 sq ft, which is about 13.31 ropani.
5 tola of gold = 58.32 grams, because 1 tola is 11.664 grams.
Questions and answers
How many aana are in one ropani?
16 aana. One aana is 4 paisa and one paisa is 4 daam, so a ropani has 64 paisa or 256 daam.
Is a Terai bigha the same everywhere?
The official bigha used in Nepal is 72,900 sq ft. Some Indian states use a different bigha, so check which one your paper uses.
Why do mana and dharni give slightly different numbers elsewhere?
They are traditional measures and vary a little by region. This tool uses the sizes most common in Nepal.
