Living in Lesotho | How People Live in "The Island in The Sky" | 4K Travel Documentary
In this African kingdom, men still cross mountain trails on horseback, wrapped in thick wool blankets.
Entire villages lie beyond deep valleys, in a country where nowhere falls below 1,000 meters above sea level.
Hard to believe, but winter can cover its highest mountains in snow.
And its geography is even more unusual.
The country is completely surrounded by South Africa, with no coastline and no other neighbor.
Yet from these mountains, water is carried across the border and has become one of the country’s most valuable resources.
So what is everyday life really like in a kingdom where altitude shapes almost everything?
Welcome to Lesotho, the Kingdom in the Sky.
