Representative image of the region — not this specific village.

Deurali Khani is a Chhantyal “khani” (mine) village of Baglung, named on the Nepal Chhantyal Sangh’s roster. It is new to the list and does not yet appear in English-language sources, so its location and figures are unconfirmed.

Trace-back

Its name pairs deurali — a hilltop pass — with “-khani”, “mine”, placing it among the copper settlements from which the Chhantyal community grew across the Dhaulagiri hills.

What people do

The village’s own figures, location and present-day life are not yet recorded here — like its neighbours, it would have lived by farming and, in earlier times, copper mining.
