Nepal, which is home to eight of the world’s fourteen highest mountains, including Everest, has some of the world’s most difficult and remote runways, with approaches that are difficult for even experienced pilots to navigate. Additionally, the weather is famously unpredictable and difficult to predict, especially in the Alps where dense fog can suddenly block the view of entire mountain ranges.
In 1992, all 167 on a Pakistan International Airlines jet that crashed on approach to Kathmandu were killed, making it the greatest aviation catastrophe to ever occur in Nepal.
