Book Description
The mountains that give Lesotho its dramatic landscapes have also played
a crucial role in creating a country with a unique history. It 's a
stirring story of courage and cunning, featuring remarkable individuals
such as King Moshoeshoe founder of the Basotho nation who first gathered
people together on the flat-topped hill Thaba Bosiu, the mountain of
night. Today, Lesotho is an irresistible lure to adventurous travelers
who want to head off the beaten path and tackle the mighty mountains.
But Lesotho isn t as inaccessible as it seems. The country is bisected
by a number of tarred and gravel roads and these lead the motorist on
jaw-dropping drives through some of the highest mountains this side of
Kilimanjaro. Small rural villages nestle on the slopes, much as they
have done for over 200 years, and delightful lodges are tucked away in
secluded valleys. All in all, it 's a land of secret vistas and pristine
scenery. This book is one of the first travel guides dedicated solely to
Lesotho. It will give the traveler an insight into the remarkable
history of the country. Suggested itineraries are included, along with
accommodation options, leisure activities and other useful information
that will help you plan your trip.
