I first encountered Dinesh on a group walking tour which he led -  and which was an amazingly memorable trip, and I always wanted to return and trek in the Himalayas proper. We kept in touch and quite a few years later, when I got round to deciding that I needed to do something about it, Dinesh organised a first-rate guide and an excellent porter for a mini-expedition staying in tea houses in Langtang. I had the pleasure of meeting Dinesh at the end of the trip - first-rate all round

Our trip to Nepal was the most memorable group trip we have made because of the variety of experiences it included. This is due in large part to the leadership of Dinesh who is an outstanding guide. We were there during a challenging time--after the earthquake when many of the historical sections of Katmandu were still under reconstuction and also during the time of the border blockade dispute with India. Dinesh was resourceful in ensuring that these challenges did not detract from our overall experience. He was also skillful in managing a group of 14 people with different expectations and physical abilities during a trip which included hiking, sightseeing and interacting with local people in villages. 

Dinesh Thanju made my trip to Nepal an outstaniding experience by his hard work and the depth of his knowledge about his country and the Nepalese people.  Not only did he provide a comprehensive and informative tour of all the highlights of Nepal but also provided many off the path experiences which greatly enriched our tour.  His professionalism and ability to satisfy the wish list of his clients was above and beyond the call of duty.  He really cares about his clients and providing the best possible trip experience for them.
