At just 29,360 residents, Baglung is a sleepy provincial hub that offers little excitement for the intrepid expat. The transportation links may be improving, but the bureaucracy is a persistent headache, and the climate ranges from hot and subtropical to temperate - hardly ideal for those seeking year-round warmth. While the scenery of deep gorges and snow-capped peaks is undoubtedly picturesque, Baglung caters more to local pilgrims than international thrill-seekers. This town is best suited for those content with a quieter pace of life and willing to navigate Nepal's notorious red tape.
