Initiated by some foreigners, tipping (never a fixed amount) has now become legendary, so to say, and a common practice. Although not recognized officially, tour guide(s) and driver(s) are rewarded for the services they have rendered from the airport pick up until drop off. Usually, the same tour guide(s) and driver(s) escorts your entire trip within country. Nevertheless, there might come a time, once in a blue moon, where your guide(s) or driver(s) will be replaced by another professional on the ground he/she is found not withstanding or fulfilling the services he/she is mount to obey/provide.

Many leaders on group tours take up a collection at the conclusion of the trip and hand it over in one packet. With a large group this can be a substantial amount and the practice has introduced a better and stronger reinforcement in maintaining their (Bhutanese guides) continuum of rendering the best of services at all times. Bhutanese guides/drivers/staffs thanks you for the appreciation you showed in exchange for the services they provided.
