Representative image of the region — not this specific village.

Chinakhet stands on a hill in Beni Municipality–3 of Myagdi, among the villages with sizeable Chhantyal settlements.

Trace-back

The Chinakhet hill holds copper mines — now lying unused — that tie the village directly to the Chhantyal mining heritage. Working this ore was the ancestral craft that first brought families to these slopes.

What people do

The village’s own figures are not yet recorded here. Today life is built on farming and livestock, with many households supported by family abroad.
