The devices are believed to be in good condition and it is hoped they will be able to help investigators determine why the plane came down.
The black box and cockpit voice recorder of the plane that crashed in Nepal have been found, a Kathmandu Airport official has said.
The ATR 72 aircraft, operated by Yeti Airlines, was carrying 72 people when it crashed.
Rescuers have so far recovered 68 bodies and searches continue for four missing people.
Video on local media showed thick black smoke billowing from the crash site as rescue workers and crowds gathered around the wreckage of the aircraft.
Teknath Sitaula, a Kathmandu Airport official, said the so-called black boxes “are in a good condition now. They look
good from outside”.
The data on the recorders may help investigators determine what caused the plane to crash.
Nepal has declared Monday a day of mourning and has set up a panel to investigate the disaster and suggest measures to avoid such incidents in future.
