1953 Kathmandu 2 witnesses

Account

Two trekkers ahead of their porters rested on rocks in misty woods when they heard cries and roars. A five-foot upright monkey-like creature with a tail confronted them, joined by several others, one carrying a baby. The men fired shots overhead until porters arrived and the animals dispersed.
