Guinness World Records experts said on Thursday they are to travel to a remote valley in southwestern Nepal to measure a 72-year-old claiming to be the world's shortest man.

Chandra Bahadur Dangi is 56 centimeters tall and weighs 12 kg, he told a media conference broadcast by Nepali state television.

"We intend to travel to Mr Dangi's village to officially measure him and are currently making provisions for medical professionals to assist us in the verification," Guinness

World Records Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday told AFP by e-mail.

Nepal Television broadcast images on Wednesday of Dangi jumping off a park bench and taking a short walk in front of journalists.

Members of his family were quoted by local media as saying Dangi was in excellent health and had never taken medicine or been to hospital.

"We cannot confirm Mr Dangi's height until formal measurements have been taken and verified by Guinness World Records officials, but we hope to undertake the verification in the next few weeks," said Glenday, who is to make the journey to impoverished Dang district, which borders India.

The record is held by Filipino Junrey Balawing, who measures 59.93 cm and took the title last year from another Nepali, Khagendra Thapa Magar, who was measured in 2010 at 67 cm.

Magar's stint as the world's shortest man saw him travel to more than a dozen countries and make television appearances in Europe and the United States. He was also the official face of Nepal's tourism campaign.
