Yakhkha is a mythical creature found in the folklore of the Himalayan region, particularly in Nepal and Tibet. Often depicted as a spirit or demon, Yakhkha is believed to inhabit remote areas and is associated with the mountains and forests. It is said to have a fearsome appearance, with sharp teeth and a menacing demeanor, which adds to its reputation as a guardian of nature. In local culture, Yakhkha is sometimes viewed as a protector of the environment, warning people against overexploitation of natural resources. While it can be seen as a malevolent being, some stories portray it as a misunderstood creature that seeks to maintain balance in its habitat.
