Land measurement in Uttarakhand
Uttarakhand has one of India's smallest bighas: the hill bigha (Nainital, Almora, Pauri) is only ~6,800 sq ft, while Terai districts (Udham Singh Nagar, Haridwar) may use a larger plains bigha. This gap catches out buyers from the plains, so confirm which bigha the seller means.
