More than 20 persons have been killed in Nepal after a bus carrying dozens of passengers including students fell into a gorge.
The bus was returning from the Sallyan district to Dang, when it drove off the mountainous road and fell hundreds of meters down a cliff.
Police said preliminary investigations showed that speeding was likely to have cause the crash.
Around 14 people survived the fall and have been taken to the nearest hospital.
