One story says that Pakhribas got its name from a Pakhri tree which used to stand at the center of the present day Pakhribas Bazaar some decades ago. The porters, transporting goods to Bhojpur and Sankhuwasabha, usually rested under the Pakhri tree and referred to the tree as their baas (lodge) for the night. Hence, the name Pakhribas.
