Jharkot was a powerful place back in the days. When you visit this village today, then you will see a ruined palace which is quite big, a gompa, Tibetan healing centre all of which will give a sense that this place indeed had a rich history. Jharkot’s power was formidable in the 17th century when the kings of Gunthang dynasty came to settle down here from Jhong. Jharkot had a more fertile land and would be able to sustain a better life. Seeing the advantage of Jharkot the kings shifted their settlement and continued to be a dominant dynasty.

Jharkot is located at 3,500 meters above sea level and is one of the most historic centers in the entire Annapurna circuit. Jharkot, in fact, is still recognizable as a medieval fortress.
