At least four people were killed and seven others, including two tourists from Delhi, injured in a landslide which occurred on very near (less than 2km) where I was staying near Nehru Kund. The landslide hit them at Nehru Kund on the Manali-Leh highway.
Official sources said two houses, two temples, two shops, 19 sheds, a crusher, five light vehicles, five motorcycles, one scooter and two mini-buses were also buried under the landslide.

Portuguese Discoveries is the name given to the intensive maritime exploration by the Portuguese during the 15th and 16th centuries. Portuguese sailors were at the vanguard of European overseas exploration, discovering and mapping the coasts of Africa, Asia and Brazil, in what became known as the Age of Discovery. Methodical expeditions started in 1419 along West Africa's coast under the sponsorship of prince Henry the Navigator, with Bartolomeu Dias reaching the Cape of Good Hope and entering the Indian Ocean in 1488. Ten years later, Vasco da Gama led the first fleet around Africa to India, arriving in Calicut and starting a maritime route from Portugal to India. Soon, after reaching Brazil, explorations proceed to southeast Asia, having reached Japan in 1542.
