In a place where 3 planes fell before it.. the Nepalese army finds the wreckage of the missing plane

A Nepalese military official confirmed that the wreckage of the plane that went missing on Sunday has been found in the Nepalese mountains, indicating that there is no information so far about possible survivors of its passengers.

The military posted a photo on Twitter of the crash site where parts of the plane can be seen scattered across the mountainside.

The plane was carrying 22 passengers, including some foreigners from Germany and India.

The Tara Air plane, which was on a scheduled 20-minute flight to the mountain town of Jomsom on Sunday, took off from the coastal resort of Pokhara, 200 km west of the capital Kathmandu.

The plane lost contact with the airport tower shortly before landing in an area traversed by deep valleys and high peaks.

Bad weather and darkness prevented the search from continuing yesterday evening, but a military helicopter and a private plane resumed search work at dawn today, Monday, and found the wreckage of the ill-fated plane.

Army spokesman Narayan Silwal said on Twitter that the army and rescue teams are heading towards the possible crash site, which is believed to be near Leyte village in Mustang district.

The flight path taken by the ill-fated plane is very popular with foreign travelers and Indian and Nepalese pilgrims who visit the Muktinath temple.

In 2016, a Tara Air Twin Otter crashed on the same route after takeoff, killing all 23 people on board.

In 2012, an Agni Air flight from Pokhara to Jomsom crashed, killing 15 people and leaving 6 others alive.

In 2014, a Nepal Airlines flight from Pokhara to Ghumla crashed, killing all 18 people on board.
