Pagwi is a village and township on the Sepik River in Gawi Rural LLG of East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea, north-east of Ambunti. Linked by road to Wewak, about 4 or 5 hours away on the coast, the Chambri Lakes are nearby to the south. It contains little more than some dilapidated government buildings and a few basic guesthouses such as Yamanumbo Guesthouse.[1] Pagwi Council House is described as "hardly impressive", but its "handsomely carved posts inside" are noted.[2] There have been numerous land disputes and conflicts in the area.[3]
