    A breathtaking viewpoint on a 2,000 metre high pass looking into the Makhaleng Valley towards Thaba Putsoa Mountain range of central west Lesotho. Pony Trekking lodge at Malealea Village is off to left about 5.6 along the very rough gravel road on left. Photo taken on Saturday 13th April 2019 while on drive to Maseru.
