The earthquake which occurred in Kathmandu on 25 April had a magnitude
of 7.8Mw. It was the worst natural disaster to strike Nepal since the
1934 Nepal-Bihar earthquake.

The 25 April 2015 earthquake killed more than 5,000 people and injured
more than 10,000. The epicenter of the quake was at a distance of 80 km
to the northwest of Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, but it was enough
to inflict irreparable damage to the city. A lot of landmarks of
Kathmandu, such as Swayambhunath temple complex, Patan's Durbar Square,
Kathmandu's Durbar Square, historic Dharahara tower and others were
destroyed or seriously damaged.

During our previous expeditions to Everest several spherical panoramas
of Kathamandu were created. Now you have a unique opportunity to see the
city, as it never will be again.
