Nepal
In the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu, damage from the earthquake was comparatively limited.[16] Three people were killed when a wall at the British Embassy collapsed, and many others suffered injuries. The shaking effects were more severe in eastern Nepal, which is closer to the epicenter. There, hundreds of homes sustained significant damage, and due to saturated soil from preceding heavy rains widespread mudslides impacted the region.[26] Sunsari experienced power and telephone communication outages.[16] Two people were killed in the eastern city of Dharan.[27]

BangladeshThe earthquake was felt most strongly in northern Bangladesh. The quake was also felt in Dhaka, Sylhet, Faridpur, Bogra and as far as Chittagong.[28] Panicked people rushed out of their homes and offices,[28][29] but the only damage seems to be tilted and cracked buildings;[30] no casualties were reported.[29] Cell phone lines were also down for a few minutes during the quake.[29]

Bhutan So far there have been no reports of casualties in Bhutan; however cracks on walls and ceilings of houses have been reported in Wangthangkha village, Lango and the town area in Paro. There are also reports of a landslide right after crossing the Isuna Bridge from Paro towards Thimphu, and falling boulders after crossing Chundzom Bridge. Citizens were asked to avoid traveling on the Paro-Thimphu highway. Telecommunications networks were disrupted, with cellular networks unavailable after the quake. [34]
Prime Minister of Bhutan Jigmi Thinley updated in his status [35] as "Phone lines remains clogged reflecting our caring and close knit society. No damage reported from East Bhutan. Four road blocks caused by falling debris are reported on the Chukha - Phuntsholing road. Two homes in Haa report damage with 3-4 people having suffered minor injury. Thimphu Dzong has sustained some cracks in the Utse and one of the four corner towers. Occupants have been moved out to safer parts. Please remain calm and alert."
