Jufal or Juphal is a village development committee in Dolpa District in the Karnali Zone of north-western Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 1,513 persons living in 300 individual households.[1]

Jufal has an airport suitable for small propeller planes connecting it with Nepalgunj,[2] and there are also weekly flights from Pokhara.[3] Flights via this airport are one of the two major ways to reach Dunai, the Dolpa District headquarters. They are also the only practicable way to reach Dolpo from the rest of Nepal.
