The chief government administrator in Lamajura says the helicopter crashed on Tuesday morning and rescuers had recovered all the bodies. The aircraft was returning to Kathmandu after bringing the five tourists on a sightseeing trip to the world’s highest peak. Authorities syd the tourists were all Mexican nationals and the pilot was Nepalese. An airport official says weather conditions had caused changes to be made to the helicopter’s planned flight route.
