REUTERS/Navesh ChitrakarKATHMANDU, July 11 (Reuters) - Authorities in Nepal have retrieved the bodies of all six people killed in a helicopter crash on Tuesday, including five Mexican nationals, officials said, the latest in a series of air disasters to strike the Himalayan nation. The helicopter was operated by Manang Air, which ferries tourists seeking a view of the country's towering peaks, including Mount Everest, the world's tallest mountain. "We have already dispatched four bodies to Kathmandu in a helicopter and are preparing to send the remaining two soon," Bhattarai told Reuters from the crash site. Nepal's worst air crash in 30 years killed 71 people in January, when a plane went down near the tourist city of Pokhara.
