Five Mexican tourists were killed in a fatal helicopter crash near Mount Everest.
Bodies pf the five tourists and Nepalese pilot have been recovered.
They will undergo autopsies in Nepal’s capital Kathmandu.
The helicopter crashed in the Lamajura area during an aerial sightseeing trip of the Himalayas.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal said the tourists were two men and three women, but hasn’t officially named them.
Airport official Sagar Kadel said weather conditions had meant the helicopter revised its flight route, but is unclear if bad weather is a factor in the helicopter crash.
It is currently the monsoon season in Nepal when weather patterns can be very unpredictable.
Federico Salas, Mexico’s ambassador to India said the five Mexican victims were related.
The private charter trip was operated by Manang Air.
Officials said the helicopter seemed to lose contact with air traffic control within 30 minutes of taking off.
Nepal’s civil aviation authority was launched an investigation.
