What are the most spectacular roads in Lesotho?

Located in the southern part of Africa, Lesotho is a country entirely surrounded by South Africa. Due to its geography, when travelling to Lesotho, you’ll encounter stunning mountain roads worth driving, some of which reach extremely high elevations. You must remember the country is very mountainous, especially with the Drakensberg and Maloti mountain ranges, and often it is referred to as the "Kingdom in the Sky”, being the only state in the world that lies entirely above 1,000 metres (3,281 ft) in elevation.

With 30 roads listed as the most spectacular in the world, you have to try Moteng Pass, at 2.820m (9,252ft) above sea level in the Butha-Buthe District of Lesotho. It’s also worth driving Mahlasela Pass, a beautiful pass to drive at an elevation of 3,278m (10,754ft) above sea level. And you can’t miss Tlaeeng Pass, at an elevation of 3.262m (10,702ft) above sea level, on the boundary between Butha-Buthe and Leribe districts.
