Lesotho is the only "country-state" in Southern Africa, completely surrounded by South Africa. The highest peak in the country is Thabana Ntlenyana, at 3,482 meters, which is not only the highest point in Lesotho, but also the highest peak in Southern Africa, and is part of the Drakensberg mountain range. Located in the eastern part of Lesotho in the Maloti Mountains, this peak has snow all year round and is surrounded by magnificent scenery, making it a popular destination for trekkers and mountaineers. As an important natural landmark in Lesotho, Mt. Tabananelele not only showcases the country's unique mountainous landscape, but also serves as one of the core areas of Lesotho's national park system due to its high altitude and ecological value.
