Location: Lesotho » MokhotlongMokhotlongSituated about 290 kilometres from Maseru via Butha-Buthe, Mokhotlong is the district headquarters town of what was for long one of the remotest areas of the country. This has changed since a tarred road to Mokhotlong has been completed. However, in winter, Mokhotlong can be cut off for many weeks by snow. Founded as a police post, Mokhotlong is named after the river nearby of the same name. This in turn means the place of the bald ibis', a bird that can still be seen in flocks near the river (which is also well stocked with rainbow trout). Sani Pass connects Mokhotlong to KwaZulu-Natal, and it is serviced by a regular flight from Maseru. This is a good area for walking and climbing, while in winter skiing is sometimes possible. There is a mountaineers' chalet just within the Lesotho border at the top of Sani Pass, from which it is possible on a long day's hike to ascend Thabana-Ntlenyana, the highest mountain in southern Africa.
