Classic TV series journeys to Nepal for a third time

KATHMANDU - Chinese TV series Journey to the West, based on a Chinese novel depicting the epic adventure of Tang Dynasty (618-907) Buddhist monk Xuan Zang, is going to be aired in Nepal for the third time.

The Nepali translation and dubbing of the TV series was done by the Araniko Society, an alumni association of scholars and experts who have graduated from China.

At a news conference last week, the Araniko Society said the series will be broadcast on two TV channels owing to its growing popularity among Nepali audiences.
