Barmanou (1994)

The Barmanou (or Barmanu or Baddmanus) is allegedly a bipedal humanoid primate cryptid that inhabits the mountainous region of northern Pakistan. Shepherds living in the mountains have reported sightings. The Barmanou is the Pakistani equivalent of the Bigfoot.

The term Barmanou originates in Khowar, but is now used in several Pakistani languages including Urdu, Shina, Pashto and Kashmiri. In addition to the name Barmanou, there are a few local variant names. The proposed range of the Barmanou covers the Chitral and Karakoram Ranges, between the Pamirs and the Himalayas. This places the Barmanou between the ranges of two more famous cryptids, the Almas of Central Asia and the Yeti of the Himalayas.
