Yeti !

Yeti – abominable snowman; mythical hairy mountain man of the Himalaya.

Of course no trip to the Himalayas would be complete without keeping our eyes peeled for the hotly debated Yeti. The boys and I have continually asked Nepalese friends during our stay as to whether the Yeti is a myth or in fact a real entity. More people that we've spoken to claim to have seen a yeti, than have seen a yak!

Considering we've seen heaps of yaks, we think we are contenders to see a Yeti.

There are countless cases of local sightings. Sir Edmund Hilary even led an expedition in 1960 to track a Yeti.

In 1998 an official police report on a murder of a Sherpa woman near Dole on the Gokya Trek sited "Yeti Attack" as the cause of death!

Whilst the Rolwaling region seems to be the heartland of Yeti sightings, it is closely followed by the Khumbu Region, which is where we are trekking around. So there is hope!
