Two small helicopters collided while landing on a snowy site in Nepal’s Solukhumbu district, killing an Indian tourist and injuring a New Zealander.
An Indian tourist was killed and a New Zealand national injured when two helicopters collided and crashed as they tried to land in Nepal’s Everest region on Tuesday, police said. Arrangements were also being made to fly the body of the deceased to the capital. Small helicopters are widely used in the Himalayan nation to transport tourists, climbers and supplies, and to carry out emergency evacuations.
The challenging terrain and rapidly changing weather make flying there particularly hazardous. Nepal is home to eight of the world’s 14 highest mountains, including Everest, and attracts thousands of foreign climbers and trekkers every year.
