 Traditions and customs

In Bhutan, you must dress appropriately, particularly when you go to religious festivals which require you to dress discretely. Refrain, in particular, from smoking, eating, and talking too loudly. In terms of tips, you should generally leave a small offering when you have visited a temple or monastery.
If you are invited to share a family meal, you should be aware that it is customary for you to leave once the last course is over. It is not impossible, either, for your hosts to withdraw during the meal or to just be happy to watch you eat.
