Need some guidance on how much to tip your driver for his 16 days of continual service? Gosh, this is awkward. Ask your driver, or anyone providing you a service in India and their answer will be "as you wish" which really isn't helpful, is it? We'll just tell you honestly that a typical tip is between Rs 700 and Rs 1000 per day, paid directly to the driver at the end of your trip.

If you can't spare 18 days, consider our Rajasthan Legacy Tour, which only takes 16 days.
