Beast from the east: Indian mountaineers reckon they've found Yeti footprints by DevjyotGhoshal
NEW DELHI - Mountaineers from the Indian army on a expedition in Nepal have found mysterious large footprints in the snow that they think belong to the Yeti, or the abominable snowman, the military said on Tuesday.
In a tweet accompanied by pictures, the Indian army said it had sighted footprints measuring 32 by 15 inches close to a camp near Mount Makalu on April 9. Located on the border between Nepal and China, Makalu is among the highest mountains in the world and stands near the Makalu-Barun valley, a remote wilderness that has also been surveyed by researchers hunting for the Yeti.
In 2008, Japanese climbers returning from a mountain in western Nepal told Reuters they had seen footprints, which they thought belonged to the Yeti.
