- The Indian Army has claimed that one of its mountaineering teams had sighted the footprints of Yeti close to the Makalu Base Camp in Nepal.
- In Nepali folklore, Yeti is a mythical ape-like creature taller than an average human. It is said to inhabit the Himalayas, Siberia, Central and East Asia.
- This is not the first time that large footprints have been observed and claimed to be of Yeti’s. However, given the lack of evidence of its existence, the scientific community has generally regarded the Yeti as a legend.
- Makalu is the fifth highest mountain in the world at 8,485 metres. It is located in the Mahalangur Himalayas. It is located on the border between Nepal and Tibet, China.
