Dailekh, Administrative division in Karnali Province, Nepal
Dailekh District spans across 1,502 square kilometers of terrain, ranging from mid-hills at 544 meters to elevated peaks reaching 4,168 meters.
Between the 12th and 14th centuries, the district formed part of the Khasa kingdom, with Sinja Valley functioning as the ancient capital.
The district population includes numerous ethnic groups such as Chetri, Kami, and Thakuri, with 97.9 percent speaking Nepali as their primary language.
The district headquarters connects to major cities through Dailekh Road, which intersects with Ratna Highway at Birendranagar and links to Mahendra Highway.
The name potentially derives from Dadhi Lekh, referencing a hill where sage Dadhichi meditated, or from Daibalok, meaning a place of Devatas.
