The Tara Air turboprop Twin Otter lost contact with the airport tower on Sunday while flying on a scheduled 20-minute flight in an area of deep river gorges and mountaintops.
Four Indians and two Germans were on the plane, Tara Air said. The three crew members and other passengers were Nepali nationals, it said.
Local news reports said the passengers included two Nepali families, one with four members and the other with seven. The plane's destination is popular with foreign hikers who trek on its mountain trails, and with Indian and Nepalese pilgrims who visit the revered Muktinath temple. Magar said it appeared the plane may have clipped the top of a smaller mountain and then slammed into a bigger mountain.
