Must-visit place in Lesotho: Pristine high mountain canyon waterfall

The Maletsunyane Falls in Lesotho, with a drop of 192 meters, is a must-visit place for tourists visiting Lesotho. One of the top 50 waterfalls in the world to visit, it is a famous attraction in Lesotho. The waterfall is located on the Maletsunyane River, with the rock being basalt from the Triassic to Jurassic period, at an altitude of about 2240 meters. The natural landscape formed by the basalt after hundreds of millions of years of wind and rain carving is spectacular. The natural scenery here shows both the beauty of the waterfall and the majesty of the rocks. Compared to the slender flow of the waterfall, the ruggedness and heaviness of the canyon attract more attention. Overlooking the canyon from the pass, the cliffs are all in sight, which is very shocking. In the deep canyon, the lush green mountains and waters make people feel the infinite power of nature. When you, who are used to living in the concrete jungle of the city, stand in front of the natural and sparsely populated canyon, you will naturally have a sense of awe for nature. And the children in the nearby villages, it is very difficult for them to have the opportunity to leave the mountains. Every time an off-road vehicle passes through the village, the simple children will cheer and greet enthusiastically, of course, their eager eyes also hope to receive your gifted candies. 🌈Highlights: Pristine scenery of Lesotho Rarely visited hiking spot 🚗Address and transportation: Near Semonkong town in the southeast direction of Maseru, Lesotho.
