The plane was last seen in the skies of Jamsum. The plane then moved towards Dhaulagiri mountain peak. Concerns are growing as communication with the aircraft has been cut off.
District Police DSP Ram Kumar Dani told ANI that the plane may have crashed in the Titi area of hilly Mustang district because locals in the area called and told us they heard an unusual sound as if something had exploded. We are deploying helicopters to search there.
The Nepalese government has reportedly deployed two helicopters from Mustang and Pokhara to search for the missing plane. A Nepal Army helicopter is also being prepared for deployment for the search, a Home Ministry spokesman said.
This Mustang area is surrounded by hills. The fifth largest area in the Himalayas. There is also Muktinath temple here. Where there is a crowd of fans every day. The whole area is very rough, dry. The district has the largest canyon in the world which extends through the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna hills.
