What is Nali?
The standard hill land unit in Kumaon/Garhwal - 16 muthi; about 200 sq m.
Hill land is quoted in nali: 1 nali = 16 muthi = 2,160 sq ft (240 sq yards ≈ 200.7 sq metres), so roughly 20 nali make an acre and about 50 nali a hectare. A 'muthi' is literally a handful - the area sown with one handful of seed. A few Garhwal tehsils use a slightly different nali (2,025-2,250 sq ft), so for deals in Pauri, Almora or Tehri always reconcile with the khatauni's hectare figure.
