Are these the footprints of the yeti? Trekker believes mystery trail spotted in remote area of the Himalayas could come from the legendary beast Trekker Steve Berry saw mysterious tracks on Gangkhar Puensum,
Bhutan Locals say no man has ever set foot on pass where the tracks were spotted Experts sceptical about the tracks and believe they could belong to a goat Many expeditions staged to find yeti but none have ever found proof of it. It was another four days before Mr Berry reached human habitation and was able to share news of his find.
There a yak herder told him he had seen the yeti, or migo as it is known in Bhutan, once, some 11 years earlier. Mr Berry said: ‘He said it was about 100 yards from him and standing upright facing him and looked straight at him. ‘It was completely covered in long dun brown-coloured hair and a face covered in hair like a cat or dog but of human height.
Then, he said, “You can recognise migo tracks because they put one foot directly in front of the other” and I nearly fell over. ‘I showed him the pictures from my camera and he said, “Yes, these are migo tracks”.’
Mr Berry’s company specialises in Himalayan treks, so no doubt an appearance by the abominable snowman would be good for business. However, while Mr Berry, his guide and even the Bhutanese royal family – who take a keen interest in the creature – are convinced, others are more sceptical.
The explorer, whose photographs will feature in a Channel 4 documentary later this year, admits that the fact that his company Mountain Kingdoms specialises in trips to the Himalayas will lead to scepticism about his claims.
