country
highest on earth.In fact, there are other countries that have higher altitudes.

This fact is what makes Lesotho the highest country in the world, beating Switzerland.
Even though this small country is not as popular as other highland countries such as Switzerland or Nepal, the hidden beauty of this country deserves a thumbs up.
Lesotho’s natural beauty is like a slice of heaven on earth, becoming a favorite for this country’s tourism.The ecosystem is unique, making Lesotho even more contrastingly different from other countries.
As the highest country, Lesotho seems to be getting closer to the blue sky.Combined like a painting, under the blue sky the mountains tower proudly.
Inhabited by 2.2 million people, horseback riding is the transportation used to reach some of Lesotho’s small villages.If you can’t ride a horse, you can use a small plane or walk while enjoying the view.
Not only is the natural scenery extraordinary, the land in Lesotho is also very fertile.Quoting from
Express
, reportedly the volcanic soil in the foothills and surrounding mountains of Lesotho is claimed to be the best in the country.
Stretching from north to south, the Maluti Mountains form a plateau between 9,000 and 10,000 feet.Just to the east, Thabana Ntlenyana is a peak at an altitude of 11,425 feet.
The highest peak on earth is in Nepal, but the peak alone is not enough to crown Nepal as the highest country, because the average terrain there is only 60 meters above sea level.
Even though it is not the highest peak, the average land area in Lesotho is still classified as the highest and Lesotho is the only country on the face of the earth whose entire territory is consistently above 1,400 meters above sea level.
Meanwhile, Switzerland has an average altitude of 1,350 meters.On another continent, Spain is at an average altitude of 600 meters with its mountains and is one of the countries with the highest plains in Europe.
