Story summary

On November 3, 2026, two helicopters collided while attempting to land near Mount Everest's base camp in Solukhumbu district, Nepal, killing one person and injuring two others. The crash involved helicopters operated by Fishtail Air and Air Dynasty, and occurred at around 8:11 AM local time near the village of Pheriche. A 47-year-old Indian national was among those killed, while a New Zealander was injured but later rescued. The trekkers being transported were part of Nepal's popular trekking season that had just resumed after heavy snow earlier in the month improved weather conditions, allowing thousands to hike around the area again. Helicopters are essential for transporting sick or exhausted climbers due to the lack of roads in the region.
