The Karbakeli Eco-Trek is one of the newly explored Annapurna trekking trails that connects Poonhill with the headquarters of Myagdhi District via the Karbakeli region. This journey will introduce you to the Karbakeli Thaan temple dedicated to Karbakeli Baba (god of the Pun Magar community) in Ramche. The Karbalkeli route is one of the most virgin routes that was not explored before, even though it's very close to Poonhill. And the most convenient way for exploring Magar culture, custom, tradition, and way of life. You can see the panoramic view of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Gurja during the journey, and the walk through the largest rhododendron forest is a lifetime experience.
This journey starts at Birethanti, which is the starting point for a bunch of trekking destinations in the Annapurna region. Then the trail follows the Poonhill route all the way up to Ghorepani, which is really beautiful, passing through the flowing stream and lush green forest. The terrain can be hot until 2000 m elevation; after that it gets pleasant. Above 2500 m, we pass through a lush rhododendron forest, which looks like heaven during its blooming period in spring. After visiting Poon Hill, the journey heads towards Karbakeli, which roughly takes about 5 hours, which is a scenic walk. The temple of Karbakeli is located at Kafaldanda at an elevation of 2200 m above sea level. There is a statue of God Karbakeli Baba and his two wives, Himala and Fimala, as well as two sons, Ramchan and Kulchun.
The Karbakeli eco-trek is a precious journey that came as a golden opportunity to show the virgin route of the Karbakeli region as well as the Ghorepani Poon Hill region. During this trek, we get a chance to explore local culture, customs, traditions, flora, fauna, and way of life. Likewise, until Ghorepani, we will experience teahouses, and the rest of it will be in a homestay, which is the best factor of this journey. Our guide and research team have explored this route in-depth already, so we assure you of a wonderful journey.
