While yeti searching in northern Myanmar, Andy and Richard cross paths with a pair of British mountaineers who tell them about a strange creature they saw while climbing in the Himalayas.

While Andy believes this is a real yeti sighting, Richard needs to investigate further. He uncovers more accounts of strange sightings and footprints at high altitude.

Can these stories be true? The yeti enthusiasts decide to find out for themselves.

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.
