naaaaah. It was 1925 and it refers to Yeti sights ("tall, naked
figure tugging at rhododendron bushes") in Nepal.
Tombazi did not believe in the yeti, thinking the figure he saw
was a traveling hermit. In 1925, he wrote a book about his
experiences called Account of a Photographic Expedition to the
Southern Glaciers of Kangchenjunga in the Sikkim Himalaya

And please, people, this is all about Shangri-La, you know,
nothing fart-dry or the like. Don't smoke Opium, don't go the
spiral staircase etc etc. Go ask Reinhold Messner.
What a mess.
