Max. felt MMI in Kathmandu is II which indicates weak shaking. we have got some more felt reports on this quake from Pokhara and Gorkha,the western part of Nepal. Think a strong jolt is experienced in western part. Probably around pokhara and Gorkha area of Nepal.

UPDATE   

epicenter area by google earth
It is less populated area and the depth is not so shallow, so we don't expect much damage from this earthquake. But it is experienced in vast area in western and central Nepal.

UPDATE 

The epicenter is in mountainous area near to Dharot, Nepal. It is close to Apung village. little far from Hotel Gorkha. Strong jolt is felt in that area. Look the google earth map aside for location. It is area where landslide is common.
