123. The Living Edens: Bhutan- Animal Archive- Migo Information about sightings of this creature (also known as Yeti or Alma) and its footprints, with speculation on what it might be. http://www.pbs.org/edens/bhutan/a_migo.htm

Migo There are many theories as to the nature and origin of the Migo (known by the Nepalese and Tibetans as the Yeti, and to the Chinese and Soviets as the Alma). According to the 18th century scholar, Jam-dpal-rdo-rje, "The 'wild man' lives in rugged mountains. Its shape is similar to that of a human. It has extraordinary dexterity and strength." In Bhutan, few people, not even the Royal family, doubt the existence of the Migo. The skepticism of Western scientists is seen merely as yet another manifestation of Western arrogance. Not long after the first Europeans traveled to the Himalayas did reports begin to arrive of "the wild man." In 1832, the Court of Nepal's first British Resident, B.H. Hodson, reported that his native hunters had been frightened by a "wild man" who "moved erectly, was covered in long, dark hair, and had no tail." Mountaineers have often come into contact with the Migo. Indeed, most sightings and footprints have been collected during the course of Himalayan climbing when the primary aim was to conquer mountains, not discover new species. In 1923, British major Alan Cameron was climbing with his party toward the summit of Everest when his Tibetan guides pointed to a line of living creatures, all moving along a cliff face high above the snowline. They reached the area two days later and found huge, humanoid footprints in the snow.

INDIA PAKISTAN NEPAL BHUTAN ... Publication Bhutan Assessment 2003 Bhutan did not witness any significant terrorist activity during the year 2002. However, it remained home to at least three terrorist outfits operating in India’s northeast causing concern to both India as well as Bhutan. The activities of Ngolops (armed Nepalese dissidents) posed another serious threat to the security of Bhutan. Ngolops, referred to by Bhutanese authorities as anti-nationals, are people of Nepalese origin who claim that they are Bhutanese citizens forcibly evicted by the Royal government of Bhutan. The United Liberation Front of Asom ( ULFA ) and the National Democratic Front of Bodoland ( NDFB ) had set up camps in Bhutan after they were driven into the Bhutanese foothills by a major Indian military offensive in 1990-1991. With nowhere to go, they found the 266-kilometer Bhutan border convenient because of its proximity with the northeast Indian State of Assam. However, in recent times the Royal Government of Bhutan has been applying pressure on various Indian terrorist groups like the ULFA, the NDFB and the Kamtapur Liberation Organisation ( KLO ) to remove their camps from Bhutanese territory. Under an agreement between the ULFA and the Royal Government on June 18, 2001, the former had agreed to shut down four of the nine camps they have been operating in that country, and to relocate their cadres to some other destination, by December 31, 2001. It had also stated its intention to reduce the strength of its cadres in the remaining five camps. The Royal Government of Bhutan had threatened use of force in case of non-compliance with the December 31, 2001 deadline.

Today it is a vibrant business with80 private operators at the helm of affairs. The Royal Government of Bhutan adheres strongly to a policy of low volume, high value tourism. There are, however, problems associated with tourism which, if not controlled, can have devastating and irreversible impact on the local environment, culture and identity of the people. Realizing these problems and the fact that the resources on which tourism is based are limited,... The tourism industry in Bhutan is founded on the principle of sustainability, meaning that tourism must be environmentally and ecologically friendly, socially and culturally acceptable and economically viable. The number of tourists visiting Bhutan is regulated to a manageable level because of the lack of infrastructure. The Royal Government of Bhutan recognizes that tourism is a world-wide phenomenon and an important means of achieving socioeconomic development particularly for developing countries like Bhutan. It also recognizes that tourism, in affording the opportunity to travel, can help in promoting understanding among peoples and building closer ties of friendship based on appreciation and respect for different cultures and lifestyles.

The Rec.Travel Library More on Asia More on Bhutan Travelling in Bhutan (1992 April) Hardeep Johar hjohar@rnd.gba.nyu.edu In response to several "Bhutan" travel requests I am posting what little I know about Bhutan and travel. CAVEAT: Most of the information below is old and things could have changed. CONTENTS OF THIS POST: Travel to Bhutan. Getting there. Local Transport. Currency. Hotel facilities. Notes on Thimpu and Paro. TRAVEL TO BHUTAN (This information is reasonably current): As far as I know, travel to Bhutan by individual foreign nationals (as tourists) is permitted. However, you have to buy a travel package which consists of hotel and local travel in Bhutan. Once in Bhutan, the package is flexible (you can take off on your own). The package includes a guide and a tour operator of some sort. The Bhutanese government also organizes guided tours of various durations, mostly during summer and fall. The Bhutan goverment has selected travel operators that can make all arrangements for you. In the US contact the Bhutan Embassy in Washington D.C. or Bhutan Travel Inc, 120 E 56 Street (212) 838-6382 in New York City. In Europe, the only Bhutan mission I know of, is in Geneva. Look for a Bhutan Travel office in major cities.

home - Inhalt: Bhutan Hilfe online buchen Text: Franz-Josef Krücker Fotos: Dr. Gesine Tull-Hogrefe, Sabine von Loeffelholz (wo ausgewiesen) Kusuzangpo – so begrüßen Sie die Menschen im Himalaja-Königreich Bhutan. Eingeklemmt zwischen Indien und Tibet war das Land lange Hort religiöser Abgeschiedenheit und geheimnisvoller Geschichten. Die Entwicklung ging sehr langsam voran, was allerdings den Vorteil hatte, daß die Monarchie aus den Fehlern der schnellen Entwicklung der Nachbarstaaten gelernt hat. Das gilt auch für den Tourismus. Nur etwa fünf- bis sechstausend Fremde besuchen das Bergland jedes Jahr, was vor allem an den hohen Preisen liegt. Rund 200 US-Dollar pro Tag und Person sind für Vollpension und Programm zu zahlen. Individuelle Reisen ohne Begleitung sind nicht möglich. Doch zu sehen bekommt man ein Land, dessen Natur schon von Grund auf großartig und zudem noch weitgehend unberührt ist. Ein Land der schneebedeckten Berge, tiefer oder weiter Täler mit fruchtbaren Reisfeldern und Obstgärten, kleinen Dörfern und lebhaften Marktstädten. Aber im Süden auch ein Land des Dschungels, das mehr wie Indien wirkt als wie ein Himalajastaat.

Links South Asia Regional Overview Note: All information contained in this report is the best available as of September 2003 and can change. GENERAL BACKGROUND The South Asian region (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) is notable for its large population (more than one-fifth of the world total) which continues to grow rapidly. At the same time, despite rapid economic growth during the 1990s, the region has among the lowest per capita incomes in the world. India is by far the largest South Asian country, in terms of population, GDP, and land area, followed by Pakistan and Bangladesh. For 2003, India is expected to experience a growth rate in real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 5.7%, with Pakistan at 4.1%, and Bangladesh at 5.4%. Overall, South Asia is in a period of transition as it strives to implement effective economic, political, social, and legal structures to support sustained growth. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank have arranged several billion dollars worth of assistance to the region, with the IMF prescribing such measures as cuts in subsidies (including energy subsidies), deregulation, anti-poverty efforts, and increased privatization.
