Burtibang

Burtibang () is a village development committee in Baglung District in the Dhaulagiri Zone of central Nepal. Burtibang is the second-largest commercial city in the district after Baglung.

Burtibang is the center of Dhorpatan municipality Municipality in the western part of Baglung District in Gandaki province. Dhorpatan municipality with 9 wards has been formed by merging the then Burtibang, Khunga, Adhikarichaur and Bobang VDCs.   Along with the confluence of Nisi, Bhuji and Taman rivers, the source of the Badigad river is also Burtibang.  Burtibang is also one of the 10 cities of the new city development project forward by the Government of Nepal under the Mid-Hill Pushpalal Highway, the gateway to most important religious site Uttaraganga, the only one hunting reservation in Nepal, the Dhorpatan hunting reserve.  Burtibang, which is connected to the Mid-HillHighway and the Dhorpatan-Saljhandi-Lumbini highway and the national road network, is developing as an emerging rural town and business hub.  Located at a distance of 90 km from Baglung district headquarters, the city has not yet been able to provide good health services. There is also a district level hospital here.  Only the primary health center is in operation.  While some private sector hospitals have come into operation, the area, which has been plagued by armed people's war, has been undergoing rapid urbanization since 2065 BS.  Even though there are already national banks and government offices, all of them fled to the district headquarters during the People's War. Later, after the peace process started, they have been re-established. At present, more than 10 national level banks, financial institutions, Land Revenue Office, Survey Office, Area Administration office, forest office, area police office and all the important government office including administration and security have been reached.
