The yeti enthusiasts have moved their search to Nepal where they are keen to investigate the story of a terrifying encounter nearly 50 years ago.

While Richard remains at home, Andy treks up through the mountains to find out if there’s anyone still alive who can verify the account.

As Andy makes his way up towards Mount Everest, the pair look back over Nepal’s colourful yeti searching history. Andy discovers he’s the latest in a long line of explorers who’ve looked for the creature. Will he be the one who finds it?

In this 10-part documentary series, Andrew Benfield and Richard Horsey travel through India, Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan in search of stories of yeti sightings and encounters. They hear from villagers, yak herders, sherpas and mountaineers, who give surprisingly consistent descriptions of a mysterious, large, hairy creature. This series takes us on a journey deep into Himalayan culture as the presenters grapple with their own inner demons to try to make sense of the yeti myth.
