Anju Khatiwada was co-piloting the Yeti Airlines flight when it smashed into a gorge near Pokhara.

At the crash site in Pokhara, parts of the plane Anju was co-piloting lay scattered on the banks of the River Seti, strewn like battered pieces of a broken toy. Anju later remarried and had a second child as she continued to build her career. The mountain terrain and often unpredictable weather can be tricky to navigate, and are often cited as reasons. "She was a brave woman.' But others point to outdated aircraft, lax regulations and poor oversight as equally important factors. "She was a determined woman who stood for her dreams and fulfilled the dreams of her husband," family member Santosh Sharma said.
