The valley that rose from the devastating Earthquake
In 25th April 2015, Nepalese felt the worst earthquake with the magnitude of 7.8, killing around 9,000 people and injured about 22,000. This earthquake precipitated the avalanche in Mount Everest killing 21 and marked as the deadliest in Mount Everest History.
