Likalaneng Pass (A3) Part 1- Mountain Passes of Lesotho

This long tarred pass is located along the A3 route in Lesotho and forms part of a string of impressive passes, virtually running back to back back from Thaba Tseka to Maseru. It starts at its eastern end where the Marakabei Pass ends and climbs steeply to its 2625m high summit within the first 4 kilometres. It then swings 90 degrees in direction into the north and follows the valley formed by one of the rivers that flow into the Mohale Dam. The pass provides access to the Mohale Dam and local lodges.
At 16,9 km it's a long pass but you wont get bored as there are no less than 96 bend, corners and curves to keep every driver on their toes. To add to that, the road markings on the road have all but faded away, so overtaking becomes an interesting exercise. The relatively low traffic volumes translate into low accident rates.
