On November 3, 2026, two tourist helicopters collided while attempting to land near Mount Everest's base camp in Nepal’s Solukhumbu district, killing a 47-year-old Indian national and injuring one person from New Zealand. The crash occurred at Pheriche village around 8:11 AM local time. Both aircraft were operated by Fishtail Air and Dynasty Air, ferrying trekkers during Nepal’s peak trekking season following improved weather conditions that had previously been hampered by heavy snow. Small helicopters are essential in the region due to a lack of roads, providing crucial transport for tourists and guides who need medical evacuation or assistance at high altitudes.
