Geography

The town also known as BaglungBazar is situated on a plateauoverlooking the KaliGandaki valley. It has been a quaint trading town since ancient times frequented by traders from north and south. More recently, it is visited by tourists seeking to trek to Annapurna,Dhaulagiri,Dhorpatanand Dolpo.Baglung is connected to BeniBazar of Myagdito the north and KusmaBazar of Parvat which are located 13 km to the north and 12 km to the south respectively. A well paved but winding highwayconnects the town with Pokhara,72 km to the east. Highways to connect Jomsom,Mustang,Tibetto the north, Rukumvia Burtibang and Dhorpatan to the west and Sera Bazar via airport (probably will see an extension to Palpa) to the south are under construction. Baglung airport, now defunct, is located 12 km to the south of the town.Baglung has experienced a rapid expansion after the completion of Pokhara-Baglung Highway in mid 90s.

[edit]History

History of Baglung can be traced back to early 16th century. King Pratapi Nayayan of Galkot married the princess of Palpa. The king brought goddess kalialong with him as dowry. Legend follows, nobody was able to carry the sword of Kali. A youth from Kunwar chhetri family was finally able to carry the sword. He was given the honorary title of Khadka('khadga' meaning the sword). One night when the wedding proceesion reached where Baglung is present today, the king had a dream. In his dream goddess said she liked the place and wished to stay there. The king then built a temple in honor of goddess Kali and designated the Khadka as care taker. This was in the year 1590 B.S. (1533 A.D.). Significant population of Khadka Chhetris can be found in Baglung till date. The strategic location of Baglung soon helped it to grow into a trading town. King Pratapi Narayan also started the tradition of holding an annual fair during 'Chaitre Dashain'. The fair is still held annually and draws thousands of visitors every year during the two day event. Baglung remained to stay a major trading point in Parvat kingdom, where merchants from south came to trade for salt brought by Traders from Tibet. Major trade was carried along the KaliGandaki valley between India and Tibet by Thakali people. Newar merchants migrated to Baglung from Bhaktapur in 18th century. Baglung became part of Greater Nepal under unification war led by King Prithvi Narayan Shah. Under unified Nepal, several government offices were established and the town was designated as administrative headquarter of the region. Since then it has remained the most important political and economical town in the Dhaulagiri Zone
