Transcription of a retelling of Talu ki yoong rek thul a ktrpeek?

They chased away the monkeys, and one that got stuck had its bottom beaten flat by the old man.

This study incorporated a community based assessment with a focus on community based tourism in Kalache and Hulgol, India. Kalache and Hulgol are two agrarian based communities located in the environmentally significant region of the Western Ghats.

The primary goals of this study were to understand the community issues and objectives, to determine the level of support for tourism development, to determine participant attitudes toward tourism, and to determine the obstacles to tourism development.
