The Mahlasela pass is a tarred pass in the Maloti mountains of Lesotho, reaching a height of 3222 meters.[1] It is one of two passes that links the town of Butha-Buthe with the diamond mining town of Mokhotlong, the other pass being the Moteng pass.[2] Heavy snowfalls frequently closes the pass in winter. The only skiing resort in Lesotho, Afriski is situated here. It is considered to be the highest road pass in Southern Africa.
