When you need hectares in ropani
Hectares turn up in agricultural and forestry figures, in development project documents and in listings written for buyers abroad, while land in the hills and the Kathmandu Valley is bought, sold and registered in ropani. Converting lets you compare a figure in a report with a lalpurja, or a farm advertised by the hectare with land priced per ropani or aana.
A hectare is 10,000 sq m, or 107,639.1 sq ft. Divide that by the 5,476 sq ft in a ropani and you get 19.66 ropani, or 314.5 aana. Going the other way, 1 ropani is 0.05087 ha, so 10 ropani is about half a hectare (0.5087 ha).
To go back from ropani to hectares, divide by 19.6565. A plot of 0-8-0-0, half a ropani, is only 0.02544 ha, so hectares suit large holdings; for house plots, aana and square feet are the clearer units.
Worked example: 2.5 hectares
2.5 ha × 19.6565 = 49.14 ropani. On a lalpurja that is 49-2-1-0.17: 49 ropani, then the remainder carried down into aana, paisa and dam.
Rounding to 20 ropani a hectare would make it 50 ropani, 13.74 aana more than the land really is, which is more than 3 plots of 4 aana.
Common mistakes
- Using 20 ropani per hectare. It is fine for a rough idea, but it overstates the area by 1.75%, too much for anything you are paying for.
- Mixing up hectares and bigha. They are not the same size: 1 ha is 1.48 bigha, and 1 bigha is 0.6773 ha.
- Reading a hectare figure as R-A-P-D. 1.5 ha means one and a half hectares (29-7-3-0.1), not 1 ropani 5 aana.
