Not to sure on my Russian helicopters, but this looks like a Mil Mi-8 to me. Video was taken on April 19th at the "Makalu" Basecamp in Nepal. The helicopter slams down on its nose before performing a nice little pirouette. Pilot's lucky he didn't lose any rotor blades on this landing.

I concur on the type - either a Mi-8 or its derivative a Mi-17. Wikipedia says Nepal has both.
