Travel Diary: 100 days of quake in SIndhupalchowk

It has been exactly 100 days since the massive earthquake ravaged Nepal on April 25 taking the lives of nearly 9000 people and making thousands homeless. Though Kathmandu is getting into normalcy, the situation is not smooth in other quake-affected districts. To find out the real situation, we travelled to Sindhupalchowk district which has the highest death toll of more than 3000. The situation is really chaotic as the landslides have obstructed the roads and buildings are empty with no presence of single person in Tatopani and Liping. 

Jure road-section

Excavators are not by the governemnt, but private

Vehicles lined up to reach Barhabise

Landslides all over the Araniko highway

A risky travel 

Quake and landslide together

Impact on Trade: Rotton apples all over way

Big stones blocking the highway

Newly built but destroyed dry port and bridge

Vehicles hit by April 25 quake

Resting time in between

These tents are police station these days

Bordering village Liping looks like ghost town

Custom office and dry port
Journalism is adventurous and risky, sometimes !!!
