KATHMANDU—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 cause of the crash near Likkhu, just northeast of the capital Kathmandu, was not yet known, the civil aviation regulator said, adding that the government would set up a committee to investigate.
