An ultralight aircraft with two people on board has gone missing in western Nepal during a morning flight to see the country’s snow-capped peaks, an official said yesterday.
The plane, with a Russian pilot and a South African passenger, took off midmorning on an hour-long sightseeing tour from Pokhara, the tourist town’s airport chief Deepak Baral said.
“When the flight didn’t return to Pokhara airport, we started to make enquiries and realised it was missing,” Baral said.
“We will continue to search for it,” he added.
Depending on the amount of fuel on board, such planes can stay in the air for up to four hours, according to Baral.
Pokhara, about 150km (90 miles) west of Kathmandu and flanked by the majestic Annapurna range, attracts thousands of visitors annually thanks to its scenic mountain views and clear, dry winters.
