Tipping in Nepal is appreciated but not mandatory, and practices vary depending on the service. In restaurants, service charges are sometimes included, but leaving a small tip for good service is common in tourist areas.
For trekking, tipping guides and porters is customary and considered part of fair compensation. The amount depends on trek length, service quality, and group size. Many travellers budget for tips as part of trekking expenses.
There is no strict rule, and tipping should reflect satisfaction rather than obligation.
