The yeti and an image problem

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 91热爆 Nepali has been following the controversy.
