Russel Braulio, owner of the pigs, said the incident happened past 3 p.m. Thursday.
"I was at home. It was raining then. Suddenly, I heard a flashing light and noise," Braulio said.
He said taking care of domestic pigs is one of his livelihood.
"We decided to just bury the pigs. We could not do anything more about it," said Braulio.
Aside from the pigs, a tree nearby was also hit by the lightning.
District Administration Office, Rolpa said the lightning strikes claimed two women in Tribeni rural municipality-7, Gairigaun of the district.
The deceased have been identified as 75-year-old Khirma Bantha and 21-year-old Asha Budha Magar.
Critically injured Khirma and Asha died while being rushed to the hospital.
A team of police had reached the incident site after being tipped off, said DSP Chitra Bahadur Gurung.
These record low May temperatures were set ACROSS the southernmost tip of Africa, although the east appears to have been disproportionately hit.

These are the strongest solar flares since Oct. 20, 2017--the last time the sun produced an M-class eruption. In fact, they might be even stronger they they seem. The explosions were partially eclipsed by the edge of the sun, reducing their apparent intensity.
So far the flares have not much affected Earth. The underlying sunspot is facing away from our planet. However, that could soon change. Solar rotation will bring the 'spot over the limb within the next 24 to 48 hours. Future flares could be geoeffective.
