Today is 4th day of 7.9 richter scale earthquake in Nepal. This magnitude of earthquake in Nepal was felt after 82 years. Magnitude and duration of earthquake in Nepal is decreasing. There has been many reports confirming that earthquake intensity is on decreasing trend. Reports suggest it will end by today’s midnight.
We would like to thank all well wishers for their concern. Thank you for those good wishes emails we got. Pictures that are uploaded in various websites/social media are very disturbing. We would like to inform that these pictures are of extreme situations. Life is and will come back to normal in few days. It will definetly take some time to get mentally back to normal situation. It does not mean that things have come to an end. Most of the roads are in good condition, hospitals are operating, there is flow of necessary goods.
This bad situation has brought all level of people for low strata to top level strata in the same plane. People are helping needy ones with all possible ways.
Our tour and trekking groups are safe.
Rescue works are going on. Nepal was due for a big earthquake. It has come and gone. Nepal has lost many lifes. Assets worth billions have come down. Now is the time we should join hands and work together to make a safer and better future.
Many historic monuments were brought down. It is surprising that 7.9 richter scale earthquake had no effect on centuries old Pashupatinath temple. Earthquake could not move flower garlands on Pashupatinath statue from its place.
