At least sixty eight people died when a flight from Kathmandu to the tourist town of Pokhara crashed and caught fire on Sunday morning.
Mobile phone footage showed the Yeti Airlines flight rolling sharply as it approached the airport.
It is unclear what caused the crash, but Nepal has a tragic history of fatal airline accidents.
A search and rescue operation that involved hundreds of Nepalese soldiers was suspended overnight due to darkness but is due to resume this morning.
Most of the seventy two passengers and crew died, but there were unconfirmed reports that several people had survived, although critically injured.
The prime minister of Nepal declared today a national day of mourning, and the government set up a panel to investigate the cause of the disaster.
