The wreckage of a Tara Air turboprop Twin Otter, carrying 22 people, was discovered scattered on a mountainside in Nepal's Mustang district, with no immediate word on survivors.
The 43-year-old aircraft, on a 20-minute flight from Pokhara to Jomsom, lost contact with the airport tower on Sunday morning after transmitting its last signal at 12,825 feet.
Among the 22 individuals on board were four Indians, two Germans, and 16 Nepali nationals, including the three crew members.
The Twin Otter model, known for its durability in challenging terrain, has a history of about 21 accidents over its 50 years of service in Nepal.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
