Kathmandu: Rescuers have found the wreckage of the plane that went missing on its way from a tourist resort to a town in western mountains of Nepal on Monday.

All 18 people on-board, including 15 passengers and three crew members, have perished in the plane crash, authorities have reportedly said.

One of the passengers was said to be a Danish national.

The contact with the place was broken 35 minutes after it took off Pokhara airport at 12:40 pm.
