About tipping

Tipping in general:

• Most tipping is only at restaurants and bars.  

Restaurants and Bars:

• 10% is good.  That's more than most.

Hotel:

• Maid:  Amount is up to you (Rs 100-300 for 3-5 days), can put at the end of trip (daily not necessary)
• Bellhop:  Yes, please tip the guy if he brings your bags.  Rs. 20 or so.

Taxis & Rickshaws:

• No tipping necessary.  If you'd like to let him "keep the change" that's fine.  If you want to reward a taxi driver that you've had for a full day with sightseeing, that is fine too, but not required or necessary.
• We will post separately about how to read the Rickshaw & Taxi meters.
