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
