Nepal is a country where annual monsoon rains cause large damages 
         to the landscape, infrastructure, farming land and livestock. 
         Monsoon rains provoke landslides, rock slides, avalanches, flash floods 
         and collapse entire villages of remote area farm-houses by washing 
         away their very foundations.
         The main reason for this vulnerability is the short distance between high 
         altitude and the low plains that are stretching towards the border of India.
 

 
        Nepal belongs to the 20  most Earthquake prone countries on the planet 
        and is placed as  the number 9 in the international Earthquake Watch lists.
        Statistically and ever since there are records kept about South East Asian 
        Earthquakes, large ones that measure above 7.8 on the open end Richter 
        Scale occur in Nepal around every 65 years.
        The reason for this is the restless drift of the Indian sub-continental plate 
        that pushes northward against the Tibetan plateau at a speed of 2 to 3 
        centimeter per year. This should be a great cause of worry because the 
        next big one is now overdue since almost 8 years.
