Visit the Thaba Bosiu Cultural Village
The distance between Maseru and the former Lesotho capital is 24 kilometers (15 miles). Thaba Bosiu, which translates to "mountain at night," is said to enlarge at night to defend its inhabitants from outsiders and enemies. The cultural village, museum, café, and amphitheater are all part of this lovely complex. The cultural village and the museum both offer insightful information on the region's history as well as the Basotho people and their way of life.
The Thaba Bosiu village is one of Lesotho's most significant historical sites as well as a natural attraction. King Moshoeshoe I, who founded the Basotho Nation, built a castle on the sandstone plateau. It is also the place where he and his forebears are buried today. This can be considered as one of the Reasons to Visit Lesotho.
Thaba Bosiu, which translates to "mountain at night," is said to enlarge at night to defend its inhabitants from outsiders and enemies. In times of danger or protracted sieges, the Basotho people would congregate on the plateau, which acted as a natural fortification. Booking a guided trip will allow visitors to see the spectacular dunes, the grave of King Moshoeshoe I, and the ruins of the Royal Village.
