Lesotho occupies an area of 30,355 square kilometers (11,583 sq mi). This means it’s so small that it’s just slightly larger than Hawaii. The country is highly elevated so it remains mostly cooler throughout the year compared to other regions at the same latitude.

Forests cover just 1% of the land in Lesotho. Because of its soil erosion, agriculture is often not suitable for land usage in Lesotho. This is why only about 12% of Lesotho is arable land.

Lesotho is extremely rugged with several mountain ranges. For example, its prominent mountains include the Maloti Mountains, Drakensberg, and Thaba Putsoa. No other country in the world has a higher “lowest point” than Lesotho.

This means that the country has an extremely high altitude overall. At 3,482 meters (11,424 ft) in height, Mount Ntlenyana is Lesotho’s highest peak, in the northeast region.
