What is Aana?
आना
An aana is a sub-unit of the ropani used to measure land in hill Nepal. 16 aana make 1 ropani, so one aana equals 342.25 square feet (about 31.8 m²). One aana is further divided into 4 paisa.
Aana (also spelled ana) is the most common everyday unit for small urban plots in the Kathmandu Valley. 1 aana = 4 paisa = 16 daam = 342.25 sq ft.
City land is frequently advertised in aana — for example a '4 aana' plot. Use the converter to translate aana into square feet, square metres or ropani.

Definitions explain standard Nepali terms in everyday and official use. Land-unit conversions follow the standard Nepali measurement system; tax and contribution rates reflect current law (Income Tax Act 2058, VAT Act 2052, Social Security Act 2074) and are revised each fiscal year by the Finance Act — always confirm current-year figures with the relevant authority.
