DINESH THANJU

I should say at the outset that my husband and I are former Canadian diplomats and as such we truly value guides who 'interpret' their contries beyond the usual brief of indepth knowledge and easy connection with visitors under their guidance. Dinesh Thanju is a truly accomplished guide with all the fundamentals one looks for - articulate, detailed and breath of knowledge,  ability to find solutions to inexpected difficulties, easy rapport with everyone in the group. Top marks on all these fundamentals. Above this, what we valued most perhaps was the deep interest and respect Dinesh shows local people, the humanity in him and the efforts he makes to find local people, vignettes and stories to make the scenario come alive but also to interpret Nepal for his clients. He makes us observe  and he makes us think.  He does Nepal a great service. We wish him well.
