Some fella on radio Nova news already speculating what might have happened and putting the blame on pilots. People will do anything for 10 seconds of fame.
RIP to all involved. The BBC have a video of just before impact and it looked awful.
Heartbreaking, thoughts are with the family.
RIP
I’m from Nepal and it’s a shame how there’s complete lack of regulation in the domestic aviation sector. Minimal quality control with airlines flying old outdated aircrafts. If you’re a tourist travelling to Nepal, you should seriously avoid short-haul flights. RIP to all the lost souls
As someone else said in the replies: it looks like the plane stalled. The nose was too high for a landing approach and the flaps weren’t set. Pilot error? Maybe.
Another theory is that cargo was secured properly and caused an imbalance, which in turn caused the pilot to over correct something.
We’ll only know when the black box recorders are analysed.
Is it just a coincidence that all these flights that crash come from the east?

Edit: they’ve since have pulled the audio
