Syauliwang — gazetted as Syaulibang, and recorded in the community list under the name Kharkhola — is a remote former Village Development Committee of Pyuthan district, named by the Nepal Chhantyal Sangh among its Chhantyal areas. Since 2017 it has been part of Naubahini Rural Municipality. It is one of Pyuthan’s highest settlements, climbing from around 1,500 m toward a 3,600 m ridge, and its road link to the district headquarters has long been incomplete.
Trace-back
Pyuthan does not appear in earlier sources on the community, so this is among the newest additions to the Chhantyal map — reflecting how far the people have dispersed east and south of their Myagdi–Baglung heartland. Independent sources locate the settlement; how and when Chhantyal families came here is not separately recorded.
At the time of the 2001 census
The Syaulibang VDC recorded 2,741 people in 462 households — a figure for the whole VDC, not the Chhantyal families alone.
What people do
As a remote hill village, it lives by farming, livestock and income from work abroad.
