Bhutanese Migoi Reports in the Black Mountains

Record summary

Migoi is a Bhutanese wild-man tradition associated especially with remote forests and the Black Mountains. During the 1970s and 1980s, travel writing and Himalayan reporting circulated alleged tracks, sightings, and local testimony under the English label Yeti. The lead matters because Bhutanese religious and folkloric contexts may differ substantially from Western cryptid narratives. Individual encounters are difficult to date and may have been recorded retrospectively. Researchers should prioritize Bhutanese ethnographic, administrative, and newspaper sources over later internet compilations.
