The roadway to the west side connects with Old Sinamangal (Pepsicola) via the road to Jadibuti the east side roadway connects to Mulpani, and the south side borders Kathmandu and Bhaktapur.

One of the major attractions in Gothatar is the Krishna Parnami Mandir. Historically, there was a palace named Manohara Durbar, built in 1879 by Commanding General Jagat Jung Rana, the son of Jung Bahadur Rana. It served as his private residence. However, the palace no longer exists.

As local people said the name Gothatar is derived from the word “गोठ” (cattle house) of the Rana family. Between 2007 and 2010, the population density increased rapidly as more houses were constructed. The majority of Gothatar’s population consists of Hindu Brahmins and Kshetris, with many natives still engaging in farming and maintaining cowsheds despite the proximity to metropolitan Kathmandu.

There is often confusion between Gothatar and Kadaghari, but Kadaghari falls under Gothatar. Gothatar has maintained its unique identity since ancient times.
