When walking through tea estates, I often see workers. Is it okay to take photos and should I offer money? What is a respectful amount.

Always ask for permission with a smile and a nod before taking a photo. It is common to give a small tip if they stop their work for you. Around one hundred to two hundred rupees is a respectful gesture. Please be mindful that they are working hard on a quota, so do not take too much of their time. Avoid giving sweets or pens to children as it encourages begging.
