What is a Kattha? Nepal Terai Land Unit Explained
Terai Area
Kattha is to Bigha what Aana is to Ropani — the practical, smaller unit used for residential plots and smaller land parcels across Nepal's Terai municipalities.
Key Facts
- • 1 Kattha = 1/20 Bigha
- • 1 Kattha = 20 Dhur
- • 1 Kattha = 338.63 square meters
- • 1 Kattha = 3,645 square feet
Residential plots in Terai towns are commonly quoted in Kattha (e.g., "5 Kattha plot") rather than the much larger Bigha. Dhur is used for even smaller measurements, similar to how Daam works within the Ropani system.
