The culinary scenery in Mokokchung is as diverse as the local folk. From mouth-watering Ao delicacies to Indian thalis, you are seriously spoilt for choice. But what about tipping? Now, there’s no strict 'tip-etiquette' in Mokokchung’s restaurants. However, a tip of 10% for exceptional service isn't out of place. Remember, a happy tummy should lead to a happy wallet!

How much to tip at coffee shops

Mokokchung's coffee scene is like a dream woven with aroma and warmth. Whether it's a traditional Naga coffee or the globally renowned filter coffee, the experience is splendid. Fun fact: Did you know that Nagaland coffee is gaining a global fan base? But I digress.

When it comes to tipping at a coffee place, a few coins or rounding off to the nearest ten would suffice. So, while your heart warms up with that cup of coffee, let your generosity warm the barista's pockets.

How much to tip at bars

Party hoppers, let me usher you into the buzzing nightlife of Mokokchung. The bars here may not be as glitzy as those in New York, but they brim with character! Tipping bartenders is certainly appreciated but not a hard-set rule. Tipping around 10-15% of your bill would make you a beloved patron at any bar.

How much to tip in a taxi

Vrooming around Mokokchung in a taxi is an adventure in itself. With scenic roads and friendly drivers, a ride through the town is never boring. Tipping isn't a standard practice here, but if your taxi driver has been particularly helpful or has navigated through the toughest roads, a small tip would be a lovely gesture. Though not expected, it's a helpful nudge to ensure they continue their good work!

Should you tip with card or cash

Now comes the grand question of the medium of tipping. Preferably cash. Many establishments in Mokokchung are yet to adopt card machines, and cash allows those who serve you to have their tip immediately. But remember, tipping isn't about showing off wealth but about appreciating good service.

So, there you have it! Now, you're not only ready to explore Mokokchung but also ready to sprinkle some joy around with your tips. Onward, let's delve deeper into this beautiful maze of culture, tradition, and vivid colors called Mokokchung!

Hey, I’m Evan! Even though I’ve been bitten by a piranha, left stranded in the Sahara when my camel ditched me, and even spent a night in a Bhutanese jail over a supposedly stolen fruit (I swear I didn’t take it!), I still love traveling so much I don’t think I’ll ever stop. With over 130 countries under my belt, I’m always on the lookout for the next wild adventure… hopefully with fewer bites, camel betrayals, and misunderstandings over fruit!
