The Most Amazing Place, Godawari Nepal || Vlog 07 || Explore Nepal

The National Botanical Garden (NBG) was established on October 28, 1962 (Kartik 12, 2019) and inaugurated by King Mahendra. The NBG, formerly known as the Royal Botanical Garden, belongs to the Department of Plant Resources (DPR), Ministry of Forests and Environment (MoFE), Government of Nepal (GoN). The landscape of this exquisite botanical garden was designed by two British architects, Geoffrey Herklots and Tony Schilling. It is well-known as a center of plant conservation, education, research, display and recreation. It covers an area of 82 hectares with varying topographies, 40 hectares of which have been transformed into various thematic gardens (= subgardens). It is surrounded by a natural evergreen forest with Schima-Castanospsis-Alnus as the dominant tree species. It is located at the base of Mt. Phulchowki (2765 m), the highest peak of the Kathmandu valley, and lies about 10 km southeast of Satdobato, Lalitpur District. A natural stream, Godawari, runs through the middle of the garden, adding to its beauty.
