Yeti expedition to Bhutan

DragonQuest Adventure is very pleased to inform you that we are organizing an expedition into the world’s only Yeti Sanctuary. This area has the maximum sightings of the Yeti, or Migoi as it is locally known. The Sakten Wildlife Sanctuary has been set aside for many rare and endangered species. It is the habitat of animals such as the Blue Bear, Clouded Leopard, Snow Leopard, etc. Due to its remote location little in known of this area.

Some years ago an expedition from the UK found hairs that belong to no known species. (please see links to article below). The monastery at Sakten is reputed to have the skull of a Yeti among its treasures, although this remains unconfirmed due to religious reasons.

It is our intention to visit this sanctuary and conduct an expedition in search of this and other rare species. Please visit us at http://www.dragonquestadventure.com/adventure-tours for further details on the expedition. The dates for the expedition are set for October 31 and will last for three weeks.

We would be most grateful if you could inform your members of this event on your website. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards,
Penjo Dorji
Event Coordinator
