The yeti and an image problem

Available for over a year

The Nepal Tourist Board's mascot for 2020 is a yeti, the big-foot monster of Himalayan fables. But the statue they have commissioned for their campaign has caused controversy among Nepalis. Some say it looks more like a sumo wrestler than a hairy scary monster. Kamal Parajuli of BBC Nepali has been following the controversy.
