Nepal, the Himalayas (cryptozoological legend)

The Yeti

A belief, told for centuries among Himalayan climbers, that a large, hairy, humanlike creature lives on the snowy peaks. Many climbers have claimed to see footprints, but no scientific evidence has ever been found.

Tales of a large, hairy, humanlike creature said to live in the Himalayan region have had a place in the local cultures of Nepal and Tibet for centuries.
