Ropani

The Ropani is the fundamental unit of land measurement predominantly used in the hilly regions of Nepal, particularly in the Kathmandu Valley and surrounding areas. One Ropani equals approximately 508.72 square meters or 5476 square feet. This system evolved from traditional farming practices in the hills, where terraced farming required a unique way to measure irregular terrain. The Ropani system is particularly well-suited for the varied topography of Nepal's hill regions, as it allows for precise measurement of terraced fields and sloped land parcels.
