Tipping Culture
Tipping is not compulsory but appreciated
Tipping is not mandatory in Bhutan but it has become common and more customary for tourism-related services (tours and treks). Restaurants and hotels already include a service charge in the bill and tipping extra is not expected, but you can still do so if service was great. The local currency is the Bhutanese Ngultrum.
