In 2015, a major earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale struck the Himalayan nation, causing widespread destruction and killing more than 8,500 people. It also triggered landslides and avalanches, which killed 22 climbers on Mount Everest. The quake that followed a month later killed more than 200 people and injured hundreds more.
