Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Godawari Botanical Garden
After pickup at your Kathmandu hotel at 10:30 am in an air-conditioned
vehicle, head with your private guide to the Godawari Botanical Garden.
Drive for 1 hours to reach Godawari Botanical Garden. The garden now holds
over 500 species of plant in 82 hectares. Highlights include the decorative
Coronation Pond, visitor centre (with interesting exhibits on Nepal's flora),
greenhouses, and collections of rhododendrons (Nepal's national flower),
lilies, orchids, cacti and ferns. Spring and autumn is the peak flowering
seasons and therefore the best times to visit.
The Godavari Spring, found 200 metres from the Botanical Gardens' main gate,
is also well worth a look. This freshwater spring spouting ice-cold water from
the Godavari river is reputed to have been created when the Buddhist Mystic
Padmasambhava struck a rock (in order to demonstrate that the ultimate truth
is clear and will fulfill the people's thirst); unsurprisingly, the Spring is
a popular Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage site.
Lunch and back to hotel by 4:00 pm.
