Using high resolution imagery provided in Google Earth all
necessary polygons and length measurements were done. Figure
4 shows the measurement done for the disaster. A total of
estimated 6 million cubic meters debris fall from 11762m tall
and 717,218 m2
chunk of hill raised more than 100 m from the
water level and affected opposite side of the bank. The width of
the top of landslide was around 491m and base 725 on
approximation. Similarly, the deposition on the opposite river
bank was 533m wide and area of 130,368 m2
. The landslide
blocked the Sunkoshi River completely forming an estimated 8
million cubic meter lake approximately 3km length and 275-
150m width upstream
