Historically Baglung was once known to be a business hub for Nepal’s northern and southern areas. It now serves as a transit centre for those visiting the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Dhorpatan and Dolpo area.

With the construction of mid hill highway, Kaligandaki corridor, Saljhandi-Dhorpatan road and many other strategic road networks, there are many possibilities to promote Baglung as one of the potential tourism hubs.

It lies in the ring of Pokhara, Lumbini and Mustang, the most popular tourism destinations of Nepal. It is also becoming the entry point for the western part of Nepal through mid hill highway. Baglung bazar, the town is well connected with Myagdi’s Beni bazar and Parbat’s Kushma bazar. Baglung bazar is 272km west of Kathmandu, 13km south of Beni bazar and 12km north of Kushma and it is 72km west of Pokhara.

Although there are currently no air links to the district, there is an airstrip in the district in Balewa. There are 28 community homestays established in different locations of Baglung for accommodating domestic and foreign tourists. Baglung is the best place for trekking and rich in local Magar culture.
