On Monday, Nepali rescuers recovered 14 remains from the twisted wreckage of a passenger plane in the Himalayas with 22 people on board.

The army said that the wreckage of a plane that went missing in Nepal's highlands was discovered dispersed on a mountaintop. 

The Tara Air turboprop Twin Otter was on a 20-minute flight Sunday when it lost touch with the airport tower just before landing in an area of deep river gorges and mountaintops.

According to the army, the plane crashed in Sanosware, Mustang district, near the mountain town of Jomsom, where it had taken off from the vacation town of Pokhara, 200 kilometers (125 miles) west of Kathmandu.

An aerial shot of the accident site shared by the army on Twitter showed fragments of the plane spread across the mountainside. No other details were given. The search for the jet was halted Sunday night due to terrible weather and darkness but resumed Monday.

According to flightradar24.com monitoring data, the 43-year-old aircraft took off from Pokhara at 9:55 a.m. (04:10 GMT) and was last transmitted at 10:07 a.m. (04:22 GMT) at a height of 12,825 feet (3,900 meters). 

Onboard were four Indians and two Germans. Nepalese nationals made up the three crew members and the other passengers.

The plane's destination is popular with European hikers trekking the mountain paths, as well as Indian and Nepalese pilgrims visiting the famed Muktinath shrine.
