The Nepal plane crash on Sunday was the deadliest for over 30 years.
The death toll is now at least 68 people out of a total of 72 onboard.
The Yeti Airlines ATR 72 plane crashed near Pokhara in central Nepal.
It was the third-deadliest crash in Nepal aviation history.
The civil aviation authority said there were 15 foreign nationals on the plane.
They include Indians, Russians, Koreans, an Irish national and an Australian.
An investigation into the cause of the Nepal plane crash has begun.
“ATR specialists are engaged to support the investigation,” plane maker ATR said.
The government declared Monday a public holiday for a day of mourning.
Yeti Airlines cancelled all Monday flights out of respect.
