    History

    Historically, Jaldhaka's significance grew with the establishment of the Jaldhaka Hydel Project, a major hydroelectric power plant that harnesses the energy of the Jaldhaka River. This project not only provided electricity to the region but also transformed Jaldhaka into a notable landmark. Before the project, the area was primarily inhabited by indigenous communities who relied on agriculture and forestry for their livelihoods. The construction of the dam and the subsequent influx of workers and engineers brought about significant changes in the local economy and demographics. Today, Jaldhaka stands as a testament to the region's blend of natural resources and developmental progress, offering a glimpse into its past while embracing its present.
