Kathmandu: Eight fresh tremors were recorded on Monday in Nepal.

The National Seismological Centre (NSC) recorded a 4.4 magnitude quake with the epicentre in Sindhupalchowk district at 3.40 a.m.

Seven other quakes below 5 on the Richter scale were recorded with their epicentre in Dolakha, Gorkha, Nuwakot, Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts.
