Photos of Eastern Lesotho

Qacha’s Nek in the east of Lesotho is a district of 2,349 km² and with a population of around 110,000. The border town of Qacha’s Nek is the capital or “Camptown” and the only town in the district.

There is a road leading to Quthing from here, past small villages, like Mpiti; it follows the Senqu river, still, a small stream here; the Qanya river is a small tributary. The mountain village of Liqhoheng with its round stone thatched houses overlooks Mpiti, a friendly place, like all Basotho villages.
