Representative image of the region — not this specific village.

Jhule Khani is a Chhantyal “khani” (mine) village of Baglung, named on the Nepal Chhantyal Sangh’s roster of the community’s settlements. 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 “-khani” name places it among the copper settlements that gave the Chhantyal their old reputation as miners of 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.
