An airport official says an ultra-light aircraft with two people on board has gone missing during a sightseeing flight over the mountains of central Nepal.
Pokhara airport official Kashi Nath Poudel said the aircraft, piloted by a Russian national, took off Thursday morning with a South African tourist.
The plane took off from Pokhara, about 200 kilometers (125 miles) west of the capital, Kathmandu.
