The landslide that occurred in Kerauja village of Gorkha in the western hills also injured six people, including four foreigners. They were airlifted to Kathmandu by a Fishtail Air helicopter.
The deceased Nepalis have been identified as 30-year-old Tsering Sherpa, 35-year-old Dorje Lama of Kathmandu and 32-year-old Ranjana Basnet of Okhaldhunga. The name and nationality of the foreigner who died along with the three Nepalis are yet to be confirmed, according to Gorkha's Chief District Officer Narayan Prasad Bhatta.
