I haven't seen Nepal territory, but I have seen Susi Air in Indonesia & PNG. It might be similar. If ever self-preservation out weighted 'get home-itis' & 'person-itis' I would have thought it would be in this type of terrain. If in doubt there is no doubt.
Assuming no technical malfunction. How does a Twin Otter perform on 1 engine at these density altitudes?
