About this spot
A longer garden outing from Kathmandu with time to pause among the plants. Published Nepali admission above age 10 is NPR 50.
SUGGESTED TIME
2–3 hours on site, plus travel. Durations are planning estimates, not opening hours.
A SIMPLE OUTING
Travel toward Godawari → enter the National Botanical Garden → follow a manageable garden route → pause where allowed → return with time for traffic.
GETTING THERE & ACCESS
Choose the National Botanical Garden entrance, not a Phulchowki trailhead. Confirm current garden hours and accessible paths before travelling. This plan is a garden walk, not a summit hike.
ENTRY & OPTIONAL COSTS
The operator's published 2079/03/16 schedule lists NPR 50 admission for Nepalis above 10. Check for later notices and child/student rules. Under 500 covers ordinary walking admission only; transport, electric-vehicle rides, parking and camera charges are separate.
RESEARCH CHECKED
15 September 2026. Check current notices before travelling.
