Trailhead 'volunteer guide' and tip-grab at Ravana Falls / Little Adam's Peak

At free sights like Ravana Falls and on the Little Adam's Peak path, self-styled 'volunteer guides' attach themselves to point out the obvious route or viewpoints, then demand rupees afterwards. At Ravana Falls people may also imply a non-existent entrance fee, and bold monkeys snatch food, drinks and phones from distracted visitors.
