Basotho people and their old culture

Lesotho is not a tourist hotspot. Far from it, there's a strong possibility you won't run into another visitor while throughout the nation, making it an excellent spot to get a taste of local culture. One of the nicest and friendliest people in the world is a Basotho. Everyone you pass will give you a friendly smile. Although Sesotho and English are both recognized as official languages of Lesotho, Sesotho is the primary language used there. Even though there is a clear language barrier, it won't matter because you'll have fun trying to understand one another and remember the people you meet long after you leave Lesotho.

One of the most distinctive cultural practices of the Basotho people is the Basotho blanket, which is characterized by its many hues and designs. Woolen blankets are worn by folks everywhere you go in the country. The majority of the year in Lesotho is chilly, making this clothing perfect for that time of year. High in the Mountains is where the majority of the communities are found. The villages are divided into various categories. Kraals make up each section. Kraals today refer to a group of structures owned by a single family. Some are used for sleeping, some for cooking, and one is used for storage. Here, a variety of crops are grown, including wheat, onions, sorghum, beans, and many more! The primary mode of transportation in the mountains is the Basotho pony, which you will also see.
