Jhingkhani is one of the Chhantyal “khani” (mine) villages of Myagdi named on the Nepal Chhantyal Sangh’s own history of the community. It does not appear in earlier English-language sources, and its exact location and figures have yet to be confirmed.
Trace-back
The name ends in “-khani” — “mine” — placing Jhingkhani among the copper settlements that gave the Chhantyal their defining craft. Across Myagdi the old workings now lie buried and unused, abandoned over the last century as state taxes and cheap imported utensils undercut the copper trade.
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 the hill slopes and, in earlier times, copper mining.
