Introducing Godavari
Godavari is not an especially interesting village but there are a number of places to visit in the area, such as the Godavari Kunda, Phulchowki Mai Temple and enjoyable walks to the giant Shanti Ban Buddha or shrine of Bishankhu Narayan. It's not a must-see sight but it does make for a nice day trip from the capital on a motorbike or mountain bike.

The 10km sealed road from the Kathmandu Ring Rd south of Patan passes through the village of Godavari to an open space at the foot of the hills. Here a partially sealed road continues south to Phulchowki Mai Temple and on to Phulchowki Mountain; the main road veers left (northeast) 1km past an ashram to the gardens and Godavari Kunda.
The road from Kathmandu passes several large plant nurseries, highlighting the region's botanical importance and commercial viability.
