Representative image of the region — not this specific village.

Narjakhani is one of the Chhantyal settlements of Baglung district, often recorded together with Bongakhani, Ghosakhani and Khungkhani.

Trace-back

Its “-khani” name marks it as a mine village, born of the copper that the Chhantyal worked across these hills since at least the twelfth century. It sits in the Tamankhola country of western Baglung and is one of the six villages — with Taman, Lamela, Khunga, Khungkhani and Lukurban — that were historically governed together under a single Mukhiya, the traditional village chief whose office still endures next door in Taman.
