Nepal Tools

Which Nepal tool do you need?

Each of these answers one question that comes up whenever Nepali paperwork meets American paperwork, or a family conversation meets a spreadsheet.

BS to AD Converter

BS to AD Converter: A date on a citizenship certificate, land record or school certificate that an American form wants in AD.

AD to BS Converter

AD to BS Converter: An AD date you need to write on a Nepali form, with the Nepali month, the weekday and the fiscal year it falls in.

Tola to Gram Converter

Tola to Gram Converter: A gold or silver weight in tola, aana or lal, or a gram weight you want in tola, including the Indian 10 g difference.

Ropani Aana Converter

Ropani Aana Converter: A land area in ropani–aana–paisa–dam or bigha–kattha–dhur, including the dash form printed on land documents.

What these tools assume

Traditional units and calendars come with conventions, and each page states the one it uses.

• The date converters cover 2000–2083 BS, the years whose month lengths are settled, and refuse dates outside that range rather than estimate them.
• The tola converter uses 11.6638 g per tola, with 16 aana and 100 lal to the tola. Some markets divide the tola differently.
• The land converter uses the standard 74-foot ropani and 270-foot bigha. It converts areas; it does not check or value a document.
