Challange
Design a interactive digital travel guide for the people visiting Nepal to give them the experience of Nepal Post the Earthquake 2015.
Objectives
In April 2015, Nepal was struck with the massive earthquake destroying 31 of 75 districts with the death toll of over 9000(Mahato et al., 2015).

Dega temples, 203 feet tall Dharhara tower, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Syawambunath temple in Kathmandu and several cultural heritages in Bhaktapur and Patan suffered severe damage (Durgesh et al., 2015).
