Galkot is a municipality in Baglung District in Gandaki Province of Nepal. Before the unification of Nepal under Prithvi Narayan Shah it was one of the Chaubisi rajya, the group of small hill kingdoms of the region. It lies in the middle of Baglung District, about 25 kilometres south-west of the district headquarters, and is bordered by Baglung Municipality to the east, Burtibang to the west, Myagdi District to the north and Gulmi District to the south. The municipality has 11 wards. Most people depend on agriculture and livestock, and many residents work abroad, which makes it a major source of remittances. A blacktopped road links it to the district headquarters.
