Two local men travelling in Nepal during last Saturday's earthquake are staying put for the time being.
Christian Wilcox, 20, and his friend Ian Virtue, 19, had arrived in a village in the mountains just before the 7.9 magnitude quake struck.
Wilcox says they were taking part in a tea ceremony, when "the table started shaking just out of nowhere. I thought, wow! That's a really big truck rolling by, and it just kept getting more and more intense."
The two, along with their guide ran from the building and sought refuge in a nearby field. "There were shingles crashing. There was a water tower that broke."
Virtue says they've felt aftershocks since, but because the village is located in a flat area, he's not concerned about landslides.
Travel has become very difficult in Nepal. In addition to the devastation caused by the earthquake, heavy rains make movement across the country difficult. "It's pre-monsoon season here," says Virtue. "It's going to start raining a lot more which is going to make the cleanup efforts in Kathmandu that much more difficult."
When asked when the two plan to leave Nepal, Virtue says it's difficult to say. "Apparently there's a 1km line up outside of the airport right now to get out and we still have to try and get to Kathmandu."
