The yeti is an ape-like creature that lives in the Himalayan region of Nepal and Tibet. The locals in the region also call the yeti as meh-teh.

The word Yeti comes from two local words: Yeh and Teh. Yeh means snow-valley and teh means snowman from the high region.

Yetis are big and hairy and they walk upright like humans. They are about 5.9 to 6.3 feet tall. Some locals say that they can be taller than 8 feet. They also have big feet. They live near the foothills of the Himalayas.

The Sherpas, who live on the foothills of the Himalayas, have told stories about how the yeti killed yaks and attacked people. According to the Sherpas, there are three different types of Yeti: Drema, Chutti and Midre.

Drema or Telma is an ape that has grey or reddish fur. It stands upright like humans. It is usually a messenger of ominous things to come in the future.

Chutti is a huge bear that preys on goats, sheep and yaks. Legends say that it catches their horns and twist their heads to kill them.

Mite or Midre is also an ape that stands upright but it has reddish or golden fur. Its forehead is covered with long hair. It usually attacks animals only, but it can attack humans if you provoke them.

Yetis are peaceful creatures that eat plants, but occasionally they eat sheep and yaks. Although food is scarce in the Himalayas, they get their food from the forest.

Several legends exist about the yeti. Some people have claimed that they have seen the yeti. There have been sightings of footprints of the yeti. However, no one has been able to provide actual proof of the existence of the creature itself.

No one has found any body or skin of the yeti. There are no photographs.

Mountaineers found big footprints that clearly did not belong to humans. So they suspected they must be from the yeti.

Local sherpas believe that yeti sightings have become rarer now because their habitats have become tourist attractions. Yetis do not like to be caught or seen by human beings. As the Himalayan region is being encroached by trekkers and tourists, the yetis have started hiding and their population is getting extinct.

In this website, we will look at some of the folk stories about yeti. Some people think yetis are abominable but they are actually interesting and cute.
