The traditional architecture style of Lesotho. This design is of their traditional hat called Basotho Hat. They also wear similar designed hats.

Lesotho is the only country in the world which is surrounded by a single country, South Africa, from all sides.

Hope you enjoy the click!!

Hello Ritesh,
I like this interesting style, and the way you were able to capture the entire building. Thanks for showing a city that we don't get to see very often.

I love how you captured the stunning color. The angle is completely breath taking.

Hi Ritesh
By far the best view of the Basotho Hat I have seen on the www! There are so few pictures of Lesotho. This pic excites me for that but also because just under the plateau surrounding the peak in the background, just to the left of the Hats' roof peak is the area where I lived as a child....we tried 'max-speed'runs on our bikes down the road visible above the yellow buildings!
The building immediately behind was not built when I lived there - it was a parking lot for Hat patrons. Hat was the Tourist Bureau
