Godawari Royal Botanical Garden
Natural wealth also
blossoms in this fecund spot, which is like a second
Eden Garden. Nepal's flora enchanted early European
visitors, who exported it lock, stock and root to
their own chimes. In the words of Nobel laureate
Ruyard Kipling :
Still the world is wondrous large
Seven seas from marge to marge
And it holds a vast of various kinds of man;
And the wildest dreams of Kew
Are the facts of Kathmandu.
It is the easiest place to see much of Nepali's
unique flora is at the foot of the Valley's Highest
point, 2,750-meter (9,000 -foot) Fulchoki Hill.
There, the sacred waters of the River Godawari

of fren, 115 orchids, 77 cacti and succulents, and
about 200 trees and shrubs, as well as many
ornamentals- and these are only a small proportional

It also has orchid and cacti houses, and fern,
Japanese, physic and water gardens. Throughout, by
lily ponds and on grassy slopes, the visitors can

years, thousands of pilgrims journey from all over
the Nepal and India to bathe in the Godawari divine
waters.
