Baglung Parbat Footbridge, Suspension footbridge in Baglung District, Nepal
The Baglung Parbat Footbridge is a steel structure that spans 567 meters across the Kaligandaki River, connecting two districts at a height of 122 meters above the water. This single-span crossing leads directly to settlements and markets on both sides of the river.
The footbridge was constructed to replace several older crossings and streamline movement between the districts. It marks an important step in Nepal's infrastructure development in recent years.
The bridge connects two communities whose residents use it daily for trade and exchanging goods with one another. During festivals, people gather here to celebrate together and strengthen their ties across the river.
The bridge is open daily to pedestrians and can accommodate hundreds of people at once. It is wise to walk carefully during bad weather or strong winds, as the crossing can feel unstable in such conditions.
This is one of Nepal's longest suspension footbridges and uses an innovative design that responds to the movements of visitors. This makes each crossing a tangible experience that shows how the bridge interacts with those who use it.
