Lesotho 1 Qachas Nek to Lehonyeling Guest House

Lesotho 1 Qachas Nek to Lehonyeling Guest House will be the first full day of cycling. The route follows the Senqu River (Orange River) most of the way. I think it will be quite tough as it is 70 km’s with 1810m ascent and what is more it has about 2200m descent, so my brakes will be tested fully. If I manage I may extend the first day to cycle to Mantilane which is about 20 km’s past Qachas Nek.

I have decided to stay mainly on the Road the whole day due to the distance that I need to travel.
