About Baglung Airport
Baglung Airport, also known as Balewa Airport, is a small domestic airport serving Baglung and the surrounding Gandaki Province in western Nepal. It uses the IATA code BGL and is located roughly 6 km east of Baglung.
The airport reopened in 2018 after a long period without operations. It has a single small terminal and a short earthen runway used for domestic flights; scheduled services have been limited in recent years, so travelers should verify current flight availability before planning a journey.
Road connections link the airport area to Baglung, Kusma and onward routes toward Pokhara, allowing onward travel by taxi, private transfer or pre-arranged vehicle. The mountainous local terrain can make travel times longer than the short distance suggests.
Passenger facilities are limited rather than hub-style, so Baglung Airport functions mainly as a local access point for western Nepal. Travelers should plan food, cash and transport arrangements before arrival.
