How land is measured in Uttarakhand
Hill land in Uttarakhand is measured in nali — 240 yd², or 2,160 ft² — rather than in bigha, and terraced plots are still recorded that way. A bigha of 968 yd², a fifth of an acre, is used in the higher districts alongside it. Sources also quote a smaller Uttarakhand bigha that could not be tied to a specific chain, so it is deliberately not listed here rather than guessed at.
Every factor on this page is an exact fraction of an acre or of the surveyor's chain the unit was defined by, not a rounded decimal copied from a table — so the sub-units divide their parent unit evenly, which is the check that catches a wrong figure. Local usage can still differ by district, and a land record is the authority over any converter.
