Lesotho, officially the Kingdom of Lesotho, is a small, landlocked country entirely surrounded by South Africa. Known as the "Kingdom in the Sky," it boasts a dramatic landscape of towering mountains and deep valleys, making it the only independent state in the world entirely above 1,000 meters in elevation. Lesotho's economy relies heavily on agriculture, textiles, and remittances from Basotho workers in South Africa. With a rich cultural heritage, the Basotho people are known for their traditional blankets, horse riding skills, and strong sense of national identity.
