This paper looks at the effects of a M 6.6 earthquake that took place March 28th, 1999 in the Garhwal Himalaya. “The earthquake was focused ~10.8 km WNW of Camoli (30.49 degrees N, 79.29 degrees E) at a depth of ~15km.”
Within the study area, the earthquake initiated about 50 small landslides. The setting of this study is very close to Nepal, and appears to have a very similar geological setting.

“The aim of the study reported here is to compile and evaluate data regarding the temporal trends in landslide occurrence in Nepal in the period 1978-2005 and to use these data to attempt to understand the underlying causes of changes in landslide impacts through time.”
Curated topics from the April 25, 2015, Nepal Earthquake to help inform reconnaissance activities, identify impacted regions, and help document the timeline of earthquake response/recovery.
Information on geotechnical impacts—landslides and liquefaction—from the April 25, 2015, Nepal earthquake.
