The current gmfs indicated for Gorkha can be improved by:

The following studies consider macroseismic data for the characterisation of the ground shaking:

The commit 3fc81b6656bd78a81e47f3d6201e475a214814d7 includes gmpe logic tree from NSET and the corresponding calculations

Better to leave for further study the incorporation of macroseismic information to condition gmf
