We a group of 10 people had been for hiking from Sankhu to Nagarkot on 25th April 2015. we felt the tremor and we ran outside the restaurant and land cracked a few feet in front of us. We ran out of the restaurant compound and saw small buildings collapsing, a foreigner lady approached her head injured a white cloth tied on her head, face drenched with dry blood. In a faint voice she said she was on the top floor of the restaurant when she got injured. We helped her to put in a taxi and locals took her to emergency care. People running around looking for a bigger plain area. when we had arrived nagarkot after 4 hours of hiking our legs were so tired we just didn’t want to walk more to find a good restaurant and we’re very hungry but out of terror we forgot all the tiredness and hunger and were running around for safer place. we saw people being given first aid and a few with head injury collapsed in the open field while receiving first aid.
