State TV reported late on Monday that the death toll had risen to 2,862, with 2,562 people injured.
With much of the quake zone in hard-to-reach areas, authorities have not issued any estimates for the number of missing.
In the village of Tinmel, almost every house was pulverised and the entire community has been left homeless.
The stench of death from dozens of animals buried under the rubble wafts through parts of the village.
