One of the tourists, while relating his experience said that when earthquake hit Nepal, they were all in a bus at a spot which was just 100 kilometers from Kathmandu. As soon as the bus started shaking, the bus driver had reportedly applied the brakes and stopped the bus. All the passengers had alighted from the bus. When the passengers experienced the tremors and the earth shaking violently for around one and half minute, almost all the passengers felt that this was their last day on the earth.
