I was travelling with my wife & my 9 month daughter and 3 other families with 2 infants and 2 pregnant ladies.

We travelled across the country and spent a week in Nepal.

Trough out our tour Dinesh was very friendly, informative, punctual and paid special attention to infants and pregnant ladies in the group.

It was fun travelling with him

We are waiting to host him in Sri Lanka

Wir hatten mit Dinesh im November 2018 eine Reise durch Nepal organisiert mit folgenden Stationen: Boudha, Kathmandu, Dhulikhel, Chitwan, Pokhara. Dinesh hatte die Reise perfekt organisiert, alles hat völlig reibungslos funktioniert. Dinesh hat durch sein umfassendes Wissen jede Reisestation zum Vergnügen werden lassen. Sein Deutsch ist nahezu perfekt. Beeindruckend ist auch Dinesh´s soziales Engagement für ein Waisenhaus in Kathmandu und eine Schule in Dhulikhel. Da bekommt man ein gutes Gefühl, dass Hilfe auch ankommt.

Wir würden Dinseh jederzeit wieder buchen und freuen uns bereits heute auf die nächste Nepal-Reise mit ihm.

Our travel friend, see review by Terry, was on the same trip with us in 2011 and Dinesh was our guide.  Please read Terry's through review.  What I can add is how impressed I was with Dinesh given that for our particular tour it was his very first one as a trip leader for OAT.  I have traveled on many OAT tours and Dinesh guided with skill as if he had done it many times.  Of course, it turns out Dinesh has guided for many years and is knowledgeable, considerate of his clients, and extremely enthusiastic about his country and people.  My wife and I had been in Kathmandu a year earlier and saw many of the same sites when we were with Dinesh.  What was remarkable was every site we revisited we saw differently through Dinesh's eyes.  

I met Dinesh Thanju in October 2011 on a Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT) trip to "Nepal & The Mystical Himalayas.  There were 8 travelers on our trip.  Dinesh was our Trip Leader (Guide).

There were many planned events.  His knowledge of the Himalayas was very detailed, as he also would tell us all about the temples and other interesting items.  We had a planned hike up a hill to visit a school and village.  Dinish made sure we had a safe trip.

Dinesh was able to find Discoveries that were not on the planned schedule such as telling us all about the City Market that we visited during a festival.  He arranged for us to swing on a large bamboo swing.  He took us to a Tibetan wedding (In a building) and a Nepalese wedding (on the side of the road).  He also told us about the framer's Bee Hives and what they did with their corn.  Dinesh took the time to explain how the old ladies were spinning goat hair into yarn.  He also gave us the opportunity to carry a farmers basket full of leaves, which we had to put the strap on our forehead.

I took videos and Dinesh explained what we were looking at, such as a temple and the "Fish Tail" mountain and many other interesting items.

Dinesh has a copy of the trip and if you want to see the DVDs get with him, as you will hear me and Dinesh tell about our wonderful trip.  If you need another copy of the trip please let me know.

I have traveled on 21 OAT trips all over the world and Dinesh is one of my top Trip Leaders.

Dinesh  was more than an excellent guide during our tour of Nepal. He was like a freind sharing his country.   He is a knowledgeable ambassador of his country who is not hesitant to share the  issues facing his country.  He is concerned for each member of his group, meeting individual's needs, looks for unique discoveries,shares his knowledge in an informative, personnel and humorous manner and constantly  creates exciting experiences.  I was impressed with his friendship, knowledge and ability to make me feel a part of his country.  I have contacted him after my tour to reseach  a follow up tour.  Dinesh continued his  personnel care for me as a friend and tourist.
