Not right?

At the end of the track, climb the steps to reach the summit viewpoint - a fairly neglected lookout platform which obviously once had a really nice garden laid out around it but has been left to overgrow. Here you will be encouraged to make a donation to the local village but it's not an entrance fee so you can give what you want. The walk itself is an easy going legstretcher and probably a good way to warm up before hitting the major trekking routes.
Whilst walking along you are likely to be approached by locals who offer you various bits of information about the area - the info is usually worth listening to but, of course, there's a catch - the bags they are carrying are full of potential souvenirs which they will offer to you as soon as you stop - the more information they have imparted to you then the more persistent they will be to sell something - or the higher the starting price!
