Four bodies have been pulled out of the river but 30 are still missing. Another 10 people survived.
Police are not sure how many people were on board the bus. The journey started with 45 people and others may have been picked up on the way.
Accidents in the Himalayan nation are generally blamed on poorly maintained vehicles and narrow roads.
