About Tipping
Porters and Guide com porters are partly dependent on tipping. The cheaper your trekking, the more likely it is that the salary for porters is low. In any case, this must be compensated with tipping. It is an unwritten law in the Himalayas. On your way, you will notice that the amount of tipping is a hot topic. At the end of the trek, there is an opportunity to give tips.
