In previous years event organizer has left the tipping of guides and support staff to the discretion of the individual clients. It can be difficult for clients to work out the suitable amount to tip, so to make life easier we have included tips in the above package prices, which will be distributed to the guides, drivers, and on the trek, cooks, horseman and helpers at each sector of the tour.
