    Tipping on Luxury Trekking in Nepal with Pokhara and Dhulikhel

    Tipping is a common practice in Nepal, including on luxury trekking trips. While tipping is not mandatory, it is customary to show appreciation for the services provided by your guides, porters, and other trekking staff. Tipping is a way to acknowledge their hard work, dedication, and the quality of service they have provided throughout your trek.

    Here are some general guidelines for tipping on a luxury trekking trip in Nepal:

    • Guide: It is recommended to tip your trekking guide around USD 10-15 per day. If you are trekking with a group, you can pool your tips and present it to the guide at the end of the trek.
    • Porter: If you have hired a porter to carry your luggage, it is customary to tip them around USD 8-10 per day. Again, if you are trekking with a group, you can combine the tips and give them to the porter at the end of the trek.
    • Trekking Staff: There may be additional staff involved in your trek, such as assistant guides or kitchen staff. You can allocate a small portion of your overall tip to be distributed among them. The amount can vary depending on the size of your group and the level of service provided.
    • Other Staff: During your trek, you may come across other staff members at the lodges or teahouses, such as waitstaff or housekeeping staff. It is a kind gesture to tip them a small amount, around USD 2-3, for their services.

    It's important to note that these are just general guidelines, and the actual tip amount may vary depending on the level of service and your satisfaction. If you feel that the staff has gone above and beyond in providing exceptional service, you can always adjust the tip amount accordingly.

    When distributing tips, it's best to present them in local currency (Nepalese rupees) as it is more convenient for the staff. It's also a good practice to personally hand over the tips and express your gratitude to the staff members who have made your trek memorable.
