This is why planes are crashing in Nepal
Most of the airports in Nepal are surrounded by hilly areas. Because of this, there is a lot of difficulty in landing and takeoff here. At the same time, there is no updated technology at the airports, due to which the landing system is not good. Here a small mistake becomes a big accident. There are no very strict safety rules here. Every year some major plane crash occurs in Nepal.
