Jelbang, also known as Jailwang, is a Nepalese village development committee in Rolpa District of the Rapti Zone, and is situated at the Southern Part of the Jaljala Mountain. At the time of the 2011 Nepal census[update] it had a population of 2896 people living in 510 individual households. [2]
73 residents of Jelbang perished during the Nepalese Civil War (1996-2006), in what is now known as the Jelbang Killings. It was the largest Massacre in the War, which was pitted between Maoist Rebels and Nepalese Monarchists loyal to the King.[3] In Postwar Nepal, Jailwang has been described as a "Model Peace Village" and a "Village of Martyrs".

In 2020, an Article in Nagarik reported that a defunct Mine in Jelbang would be converted into a Museum. Local Authorities hope it may boost Tourism in Jelbang. [2]
