The earthquake occurred on 25 April 2015 at 11:56 am NST (06:11:25 UTC) at a depth of approximately {{convert|8.2|km|mi|abbr=on}} (which is considered shallow and therefore more damaging than quakes that originate deeper in the ground),{{cite web|title=Nepal Earthquake Strikes One of Earth's Most Quake-Prone Areas|work=National Geographic|author=Howard, Brian Clark|date=25 April 2015|access-date=27 April 2015|url=http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/04/150425-nepal-earthquake-faults-geology-science|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150428062836/http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/04/150425-nepal-earthquake-faults-geology-science/|url-status=dead|archive-date=28 April 2015}} with its epicentre approximately {{convert|34|km|mi|abbr=on}} southeast of Lamjung, Nepal, lasting approximately 50 seconds.{{cite web|url=http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/04/powerful-earthquake-hits-nepal-150425063918183.html|title=Powerful earthquake hits Nepal|publisher=Al Jazeera|access-date=25 April 2015}} The earthquake was initially reported as 7.5 {{M|w}} by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) before it was quickly upgraded to 7.8 {{M|w}}. The China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC) reported the earthquake's magnitude to be 8.1 {{M|s}}. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said two powerful quakes were registered in Nepal at 06:11 UTC and 06:45 UTC. The first quake measured 7.8 {{M|w}} and its epicenter was identified at a distance of 80 km to the northwest of Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. Bharatpur was the nearest major city to the main earthquake, {{convert|53|km|mi|abbr=on}} as the crow flies from the epicenter. The second earthquake was somewhat less powerful at 6.6 {{M|w}}. It occurred {{convert|65|km|mi|abbr=on}} east of Kathmandu and its seismic focus lay at a depth of {{convert|10|km|abbr=on}} below the earth's surface. Over 38 aftershocks of magnitude 4.5 {{M|w}} or greater occurred in the day following the initial earthquake, including one of 6.8 {{M|w}}.{{cite web|title=1 Day, Magnitude 2.5+ Worldwide|url=https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/#%7B%22feed%22%3A%221day_m25%22%2C%22search%22%3Anull%2C%22listFormat%22%3A%22default%22%2C%22sort%22%3A%22newest%22%2C%22basemap%22%3A%22grayscale%22%2C%22autoUpdate%22%3Atrue%2C%22restrictListToMap%22%3Atrue%2C%22timeZone%22%3A%22utc%22%2C%22mapposition%22%3A%5B%5B24.666986385216273%2C80.145263671875%5D%2C%5B30.80791068136646%2C91.636962890625%5D%5D%2C%22overlays%22%3A%7B%22plates%22%3Atrue%7D%2C%22viewModes%22%3A%7B%22list%22%3Atrue%2C%22map%22%3Atrue%2C%22settings%22%3Afalse%2C%22help%22%3Afalse%7D%7D|access-date=25 April 2015}}

According to the USGS, the earthquake was caused by a sudden thrust, a short sharp thrust that caught many unsuspected and dies to this thrust only, along the major fault line where the Indian plate, carrying India, is slowly diving underneath the Eurasian plate, carrying much of Europe and Asia. Kathmandu, situated on a block of crust approximately 120 km (74 miles) wide and 60 km (37 miles) long, rapidly shifted 3 m (10 ft) to the south in a matter of just 30 seconds.{{cite news|url=https://www.smh.com.au/world/kathmandu-shifts-three-metres-in-30-seconds-20150426-1mtc5x.html|date=27 April 2015|access-date=28 April 2015|title=Kathmandu shifts three metres in 30 seconds|newspaper=The Washington Post|via=The Sydney Morning Herald|author=Joel Achenbach}}

The risk of a large earthquake was well known beforehand. In 2013, in an interview with seismologist Vinod Kumar Gaur, The Hindu quoted him as saying, "Calculations show that there is sufficient accumulated energy [in the Main Frontal Thrust], now to produce an 8-magnitude earthquake. I cannot say when. It may not happen tomorrow, but it could possibly happen sometime this century, or wait longer to produce a much larger one."{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/was-this-the-big-earthquake-that-was-predicted-in-the-himalayas/article7141086.ece|title=Was this the big earthquake that was predicted in the Himalayas?|author=Internet Desk|newspaper=The Hindu|access-date=28 April 2015|date=25 April 2015}} According to Brian Tucker, founder of a nonprofit organization devoted to reducing casualties from natural disasters, some government officials had expressed confidence that such an earthquake would not occur again. Tucker recounted a conversation he had with a government official in the 1990s who said, "We don't have to worry about earthquakes anymore, because we already had an earthquake." The previous earthquake to which he referred occurred in 1934.{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/experts-had-warned-for-decades-that-nepal-was-vulnerable-to-a-killer-quake/2015/04/25/0275959e-eb78-11e4-9a6a-c1ab95a0600b_story.html|title=Experts had warned for decades that Nepal was vulnerable to a killer quake|newspaper=The Washington Post|access-date=27 April 2015}} In fact, the 600-km-long Central Himalayan Gap hadn't ruptured since 1505.

The convergence rate between the plates in central Nepal is about {{convert|45|mm|abbr=on}} per year.

According to the USGS website, the maximum intensity was VIII (Severe), however certain reports state an intensity of X (Extreme) or higher. In most of Kathmandu the intensity was VIII-IX, as evidenced by the numerous undamaged water towers installed on top of undamaged multi story buildings.

A series of aftershocks began immediately after the mainshock, at intervals of 15–30 minutes, with one aftershock reaching 6.6M_w within 34 minutes of the initial quake. A major aftershock of magnitude 6.9 M_w occurred on 26 April 2015 in the same region at 12:54 NST (07:08 UTC), with an epicenter located about {{convert|17|km|abbr=on}} south of Kodari, Nepal.{{cite news|title=Fresh Tremors in North India, Including Delhi, a Day After Nepal Earthquake|url=http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/fresh-tremors-in-north-india-including-delhi-a-day-after-nepal-earthquake-758240|access-date=26 April 2015|work=NDTV|date=26 April 2015}} The aftershock caused fresh avalanches on Mount Everest and was felt in many places in northern India including Kolkata, Siliguri, Jalpaiguri, and Assam.{{cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/world/neighbours/live-nepal-continues-to-battle-amid-fear-death-toll-still-rising/|newspaper=The Indian Express|title=LIVE: Death toll rises to 2200 in Nepal earthquake, India resumes rescue ops|date=26 April 2015|access-date=26 April 2015}} The aftershock caused a landslide on the Koshi Highway, which blocked the section of the road between Bhedetar and Mulghat.{{cite web|url=http://www.ekantipur.com/2015/04/26/top-story/koshi-highway-obstructed/404544.html|title=Koshi Highway obstructed|work=ekantipur.com|access-date=27 April 2015|archive-date=18 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150518063503/http://www.ekantipur.com/2015/04/26/top-story/koshi-highway-obstructed/404544.html}}

A model of GeoGateway, based on a United States Geological Survey mechanism of a near-horizontal fault as well as the location of aftershocks showed that the fault had an 11° dip towards the north, striking at 295°, was {{convert|50|km|abbr=on}} wide, {{convert|150|km|abbr=on}} long, and had a dip slip of {{convert|3|m|abbr=on}}.{{cite web|url=http://ds.iris.edu/ds/nodes/dmc/specialevents/2015/04/25/nepal|title=IRIS: Special Event: Nepal|publisher=IRIS Consortium}} The USGS says the aftershock registered at a shallow depth of {{convert|10|km|abbr=on}}.

As of 24 May 2016, 459 aftershocks had occurred with different epicenters and magnitudes equal to or above 4 M_w (out of which 51 aftershocks are equal to or above 5 M_w and 5 aftershocks above 6 M_w) and more than 20,000 aftershocks less than 4 M_w.

A second major earthquake occurred on 12 May 2015 at 12:50 NST with a moment magnitude (M_w) of 7.3M_w 18 km (11 mi) southeast of Kodari. The epicenter was near the Chinese border between the capital city of Kathmandu and Mount Everest. It struck at a depth of 18.5 km (11.5 miles). This earthquake occurred along the same fault as the original magnitude 7.8 earthquake of 25 April but further to the east. As such, it is considered an aftershock of the 25 April quake.{{cite web|url=https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us20002ejl#general_summary|title=M7.3 – 18 km SE of Kodari, Nepal|publisher=United States Geological Survey |department=Earthquake Hazards Program}} Tremors were also felt in northern parts of India including Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and other North-Indian States.{{cite news|title=7.3 Magnitude Earthquake hits North India including Bihar|url=http://news.biharprabha.com/2015/05/7-3-magnitude-earthquake-hits-north-india-including-bihar/|access-date=12 May 2015|publisher=news.biharprabha.com|date=12 May 2015}}{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-32701385|title=Nepal earthquake, magnitude 7.3, strikes near Everest|date=12 May 2015|publisher=BBC News|access-date=12 May 2015}}{{cite web|title=M7.3 – 18 km SE of Kodari, Nepal|url=https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us20002ejl#general_summary|publisher=United States Geological Survey|date=12 May 2015|access-date=12 May 2015}}{{Cite journal|last1=Hough|first1=Susan E.|last2=Martin|first2=Stacey S.|last3=Gahalaut|first3=Vineet|last4=Joshi|first4=Anand|last5=Landes|first5=M.|last6=Bossu|first6=R.|date=1 December 2016|title=A comparison of observed and predicted ground motions from the 2015 MW7.8 Gorkha, Nepal, earthquake|journal=Natural Hazards|volume=84|issue=3|pages=1661–1684|doi=10.1007/s11069-016-2505-8|bibcode=2016NatHa..84.1661H|s2cid=133079443|issn=0921-030X|url=https://zenodo.org/record/1232832}} At least 153 people died in Nepal as a result of the aftershock and about 2,500 were injured. 62 others died in India, two in Bangladesh, and one in China.

Disastrous events in very poor and politically paralyzed nations such as Nepal often become a long drawn out chain of events, in that one disaster feeds into another for years or even decades on end. The aftereffects of the earthquake had subsequent effects on a myriad of things: human trafficking, labour cost and availability, rental and property cost burdens, urbanization, private and public debt burdens, mental health, politics, tourism, disease, and damage to the healthcare system.{{Cite web|url=http://growuptogether.org/cause/nepal-earthquake/|title=Grow Up Together " Nepal Earthquake|website=growuptogether.org|access-date=26 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160509160221/http://growuptogether.org/cause/nepal-earthquake/|archive-date=9 May 2016}} A survey [https://phys.org/news/2017-11-nepal-earthquake-reconstruction-wont-vulnerability.html some 30 months later] found only 12% of the reconstruction money had been distributed, and those without land were locked out of financial support, exacerbating the social divide and feeding marginalization.

Some disasters that came with the monsoon season were suspected to be related to the earthquake. There was a landslip on 11 June, killing 53 people.{{cite web|url=http://www.ekantipur.com/2015/06/11/top-story/taplejung-landslide-death-toll-reaches-53/406438.html|title=Taplejung landslide death toll reaches 53|work=ekantipur.com|access-date=13 June 2015|archive-date=12 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150612215150/http://www.ekantipur.com/2015/06/11/top-story/taplejung-landslide-death-toll-reaches-53/406438.html}} Meanwhile, a glacial lake had burst in the particularly hard-hit Solukhumbhu district.{{cite web|url=http://www.ekantipur.com/2015/06/11/top-story/glacial-lake-burst-triggers-floods-in-solu/406455.html|title=Glacial lake burst triggers floods in Solu|work=ekantipur.com|access-date=13 June 2015|archive-date=12 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150612215140/http://www.ekantipur.com/2015/06/11/top-story/glacial-lake-burst-triggers-floods-in-solu/406455.html}} Whether or not the quake contributed to such events is often unknown and unresearched, but it is certainly possible.

The example of this earthquake shows that loss calculations for hypothetical likely future earthquakes can be reasonably reliable. In 2005, the expected numbers of fatalities due to a hypothetical scenario earthquake near Kathmandu for M8.1 was published.Wyss, M. (2005), Human losses expected in Himalayan earthquakes Nat. Hazards, 34, 305–314. The fatalities at that time were estimated between 21,000 and 42,000. The M7.8 earthquake of 25 April 2015 killed about 8,800 people because it occurred on a Saturday and so many buildings that collapsed, such as schools and municipal buildings, were empty, reducing the death toll. In addition, the epicentre of the earthquake was in a rural setting, so the worst hit districts had low population densities and most of the population was outside when the earthquake hit.{{cite web|publisher=Save the Children|date=2015|title=Causes of deaths and injuries in the 2015 Gorkha (Nepal) Earthquake|url=https://resourcecentre.savethechildren.net/pdf/causes_of_deaths_and_injuries_nepal_earthquake_report_eng_2017.pdf|last1=Baral|first1=Sushil|last2=Gajurel|first2=Subash|last3=Giri|first3=Santosh|last4=Paci-Green|first4=Rebekah|last5=Pandey|first5=Bishnu|last6=Petal|first6=Marla|last7=Rajbanshi|first7=Samedha|last8=Shoaf|first8=Kimberly|access-date=15 November 2021}} Had the earthquake occurred at night or during the working week, when many more people were inside vulnerable buildings, the death toll would have likely been much closer to the modelled estimate.

The fatalities estimated in this way by QLARM agree with those reported in the end. The figure shows reports of fatalities as a function of time. News reports significantly underestimated the actual numbers of fatalities for several days.

The Himalayan Times reported that as many as 20,000 foreign nationals may have been visiting Nepal at the time of the earthquake, although reports of foreign deaths were relatively low.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}

A total of 78 deaths were reported in India – including 58 in Bihar, 16 in Uttar Pradesh, 3 in West Bengal and 1 in Rajasthan.

Twenty-seven people were confirmed dead, 383 were injured and 4 were missing, all from the Tibet Autonomous Region.

The quake destroyed 2,500 houses and damaged 24,700 others across 19 counties in Tibet, affecting nearly 300,000 people, among whom 47,500 were displaced, while A total of 82 temples were also damaged. The counties of Gyirong, Nyalam and Tingri in Xigazê were worst hit, where nearly 80 percent of the houses in the three counties collapsed.

Four people were killed and 18 districts were affected by the earthquake in Bangladesh. A six-story building partially collapsed and two garment factories tilted in Dhaka. A 22-year-old man died when trying to flee the Dhaka Medical College in a panic. In Tangail, a woman died trying to escape a building. Another woman was crushed to death by a collapsed wall while a teacher died of a heart attack during the earthquake.

The U.S. Geological Survey initially estimated economic losses from the tremor at 9 per cent to 50 per cent of gross domestic product, with a best guess of 35 per cent. "It's too hard for now to tell the extent of the damage and the effect on Nepal's GDP", according to Hun Kim, an Asian Development Bank (ADB) official. The ADB said on the 28th that it would provide a US$3 million grant to Nepal for immediate relief efforts, and up to US$200 million for the first phase of rehabilitation.

Rajiv Biswas, an economist at a Colorado-based consultancy, said that rebuilding the economy will need international effort over the next few years as it could "easily exceed" US$5 billion.{{cite web|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/world/The-Latest-on-Nepal-Quake-Aid-Arriving-as-Deaths-Top-4000/2015/04/27/article2786074.ece|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150429164957/http://www.newindianexpress.com/world/The-Latest-on-Nepal-Quake-Aid-Arriving-as-Deaths-Top-4000/2015/04/27/article2786074.ece|url-status=dead|archive-date=29 April 2015|title=The Latest on Nepal Quake: Aid arriving as deaths top 4,000|work=The New Indian Express|access-date=4 May 2015}}{{failed verification|date=May 2015|reason=only part of this quotation is found in the sources}}

Tibeto-Burman peoples were hardest hit as they tend to inhabit the higher slopes of mountains as opposed to the central valleys and are less educated and connected. All of these factors make them harder to access. According to a government survey, malnutrition in children has worsened considerably some 3 months after the quake, with the most undernourished being Tamang and Chepang peoples.http://www.ekantipur.com/2015/07/30/national/malnutrition-stalks-quake-hit-kids/408642.html {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150802025512/http://www.ekantipur.com/2015/07/30/national/malnutrition-stalks-quake-hit-kids/408642.html |date=2 August 2015 }} The Kathmandu Post: Malnutrition stalks quake-hit kids Before the quake, 41 percent of children under five were stunted, 29 percent were underweight and 11 percent were emaciated, according to the World Food Programme.

Digital mappers, through the Kathmandu Living Labs, were already charting the densely populated Kathmandu Valley, and then focused on earthquake relief. "They were doing an inventory in the poorer communities where they didn't have a very good sense of the quality of buildings," says Cowan, whose students helped add Kathmandu's buildings and roads to OpenStreetMap. First responders, from Nepalese citizens to the Red Cross, the Nepal army and the United Nations used this data.

UNESCO and the Ministry of Culture began strengthening damaged monuments in danger of collapsing before the monsoon season. Subsequent restoration of collapsed structures, including historic houses is planned. Architectural drawings exist that provide plans for reconstruction.

On 26 April 2015, international aid agencies and governments mobilized rescue workers and aid for the earthquake. They faced challenges in both getting assistance to Nepal and ferrying people to remote areas as the country had few helicopters.{{cite news|author=Mark Scott|title=Nepal Earthquake Poses Challenge to International Aid Agencies|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/27/world/asia/nepal-earthquake-international-aid-agencies.html?_r=0|newspaper=The New York Times|date=26 April 2015|access-date=28 April 2015}}{{cite magazine|last1=Sifferlin|first1=Alexandra|title=Medics Race Against Time to Save Nepal's Quake Survivors|url=https://time.com/3837207/nepal-health-earthquake/|access-date=30 April 2015|magazine=Time|date=28 April 2015}} Relief efforts were also hampered by Nepalese government insistence on routing aid through the Prime Minister's Disaster Relief Fund and its National Emergency Operation Center.
