Home Ministry spokesman Sudhir Shah says at least one person is missing and five others have been hospitalized with injuries.
Police say it is still unclear how the metal cables holding up the bridge snapped Saturday over the boulder-strewn Trishuli River, famed for whitewater rafting.
The dead included an Indian citizen from Chennai who was taking photographs of the scenery from the bridge, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) west of Katmandu.
