An eternal flame in Dailekh – Shreesthan Jwala

This flame in Shreesthan, Dailekh is burning forever. The local people worship this place for the “devine power” that has caused the light to burn like this. Those who know a little science believe the flame is lighted by the natural gas that is accumulated in the area underneath.

The area needs a detailed geological investigation to identify the source of the energy and help it to develop commercially.

Last year, a team of parliamentary committee led by Sushil Kangdawa went to Sheersthan, Nabhisthan, and Kotila regions. The team consisted of geologist and other officials – but there is no report of progress in the detailed investigation.
