Ropani to Square Feet Conversion Guide
Hilly Area
One of the most common land-measurement questions in Nepal is a straightforward one: how many square feet is a Ropani? Here's the full breakdown, plus how it flows down through Aana, Paisa, and Daam.
Key Facts
- • 1 Ropani = 5,476 sq.ft
- • 1 Aana = 342.25 sq.ft (1/16 Ropani)
- • 1 Paisa = 85.56 sq.ft (1/64 Ropani)
- • 1 Daam = 21.39 sq.ft (1/256 Ropani)
- • 1 Ropani = 508.72 sq.m
These figures are the standard used throughout Kathmandu Valley and other hilly municipalities. For land in the Terai, use the separate Bigha-Kattha-Dhur system instead — see our Bigha guide. To convert any value instantly (Ropani to sq.ft or the reverse), use the Area Converter tool below — it also converts to Bigha, Kattha, and Dhur so you can compare across both systems.
