The Nepal earthquake of 2015, also known as the Gorkha earthquake, was a catastrophic earthquake that struck Nepal on April 25, 2015. Here are the key points about the Nepal earthquake of 2015:
Magnitude and epicenter: The earthquake had a moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.8 and its epicenter was near the village of Barpak in the Gorkha district of Nepal, about 80 kilometers northwest of Kathmandu, the capital city.
Casualties and damage: The earthquake resulted in widespread destruction, with thousands of buildings, including historical and cultural landmarks, collapsing or sustaining severe damage. It caused massive loss of life, with an estimated 9,000 people killed, and over 22,000 injured. The earthquake also caused significant damage to infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and communication systems.
Aftershocks: The earthquake was followed by numerous aftershocks, including a major one with a magnitude of 7.3 on May 12, 2015. These aftershocks further compounded the devastation, causing additional loss of life and damage.
Humanitarian response: The international community and various humanitarian organizations responded quickly to the Nepal earthquake, providing emergency aid and assistance in the form of search and rescue teams, medical aid, food, shelter, and other essential supplies. The Nepalese government, along with the support of the international community, led the relief and recovery efforts.
Challenges and recovery: The earthquake presented significant challenges to the relief and recovery efforts, including difficult terrain, remote locations, and logistical constraints. There were also issues related to the coordination and distribution of aid, and the rebuilding of homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods for the affected communities. Despite these challenges, Nepal made progress in the recovery process over time, with efforts focused on reconstruction, rehabilitation, and disaster risk reduction.
Lessons learned: The Nepal earthquake of 2015 highlighted the need for disaster preparedness, building resilient infrastructure, and improving response mechanisms to natural disasters. It also underscored the importance of coordination among national and international agencies, as well as the role of local communities in disaster response and recovery.

10 Nepal Documentary | Living on a Dollar a Day
8 jan. 2016
Our full living on a dollar a day in Nepal documentary. Check out our story and exact breakdown of our expenses: http://thetickettotravel.com/living-o….

We filmed from July 17th-August 17th, 2015.
Another Day, Another Dollar documentary was intended not as much as a look into life on a dollar a day, as much as a showcase on how to be content on less, and how life is like for us and others in Nepal.
The documentary was originally divided in 4 parts, uploaded in November 2015, with a total time of about 45 minutes.
The Rules
So we came from the angle of already living here, not starting fresh. Locals living on very little already have a home, basic resources, maybe a bicycle or a motorbike for the family.
Before we embarked on this challenge, we had to set some ground rules, and we will make things as transparent as possible for you.
First up, keep in mind this does not include our visa costs, internet, or rent. Our visa is an expense locals don’t have but we need to pay as foreigners. And we were forced to get Internet ever since YouTube started refusing the submission of VHS tapes for video uploads. Not impressed, YouTube.
Secondly, we chose a high exchange rate to use for the Nepali rupee against the American dollar, so we will be working with 107rps each/day as an average, although for simplicities sake, you can think of 100 rupees as one dollar or 100 cents. We will do it for a whole month with no breaks, meaning our budget as a couple is $60 for the month, or 6420 rps.
This is around 20% less than one person earning minimum wage would make. Over 30 per cent of Nepalese live on less than US$14 per person, per month, according to the national living standards survey conducted in 2010-2011.The average daily income in Nepal is closer to $2 a day. Having said that, if we were to spend the average income during this challenge, we would have no problem paying for our rent as well. Keep in mind, though, many local families already own the family home and don’t have to pay rent.
Our living on a dollar is not only our food. No, that would be too easy. It includes cosmetics, shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, vehicle repairs, and any medicine we might need. We are also using cooking gas, which costs about 8cents a day. Many people especially in the rurals don’t use cooking gas, but use wood fires instead for cooking, which if we were to do also would make it a lot easier to keep in budget. But easy is for losers. Just kidding… Since the documentary, we have been forced to cook on wood, and it is not “easy,” but time consuming. It does save about $4/month doing it that way though. But I’d rather pay for the gas in most cases.
To make it easier to calculate our expenses, we put away lots of our stuff that we bought already to start fresh for the month and not get confused or tempted into using something we already bought before.
As we considered what we need to spend on non-food items, we came to realize that this was more of a challenge than anticipated. Blah.
Our Budget
Not only did we stay in budget, but in 30 days we spent an average of $0.85 per day. As we were going according to the Nepali calendar of 32 days for that month of Saun, though, the money we saved allowed us to treat ourselves to a trip and nice meal for the last 2 days when we went to Sauraha, and Chitwan National Park.

12 Massacre of the royal family of Nepal (Aired: June 2001)
13 The Shocking Massacre of the Nepalese Royal Family (2001)
Gepubliceerd op 10 jan. 2019
Maoist Movement (2001) – The survivors speak for the first time about what really happened that night when Crown Prince Dipendra massacred his family members and all but destroyed the country’s ruling dynasty.

Many Nepalese refuse to believe the murders were the act of one man alone. Conspiracy theories are rife, and the palace massacre is feeding a growing Maoist revolution amongst the poor and dispossessed in the villages of Nepal. Whatever the truth behind the killings, one thing is clear: the Nepalese people have lost their faith in the monarchy, with many now placing their trust in the hands of the Maoists.

Many international brands choose to manufacture their clothes in countries offering cheap labour. Very often, however, these savings are paid for by the most vulnerable groups in society.
In the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, most garment workers are women. When a seamstress gets pregnant, she can expect to be fired. There is a law that protects workers’ rights, although few are aware of it. It provides for three months paid maternity leave for workers who have been fully employed for a year. Still, unscrupulous employers are able to circumvent this right by only offering seamstresses three-month renewable contracts. These agreements also make it easier for a factory boss to sack a female worker quickly once her pregnancy becomes known. Trade unions here hold little sway as big businesses are dominant.
Once they are laid off, women stand little chance of returning to their factory jobs even after giving birth. This leaves them with no means of supporting themselves. They become reliant on their relatives for help, and are often reduced to living in poverty. This is why seamstresses try to hide their pregnancies from their employers, continuing to do a physically-demanding job and putting their babies’ health at risk.
However, even though they work long hours, they can still make less than $200 a month – not nearly enough to put away for their future babies’ needs. Meanwhile, the international brands that make vast profits from these goods continue to turn a blind eye to the plight of those who actually make them.
