Mont-Aux-Sources, Mountain summit in Drakensberg Range, Lesotho
Mont-Aux-Sources rises to 3,328 meters above sea level, featuring basalt and sandstone formations shaped through millions of years of geological processes.
Early European explorers named this peak Mont-Aux-Sources in the 1800s due to its role as the source of multiple rivers flowing across southern Africa.
The mountain, known as Phofung in Sotho language, holds deep spiritual meaning for the Basotho people who have inhabited the region for generations.
Hikers need specialized equipment and proper permits to access the summit, with guided tours available from both the Lesotho and South African entry points.
The mountain serves as the origin point for several major river systems, including the Orange River, which flows westward across the African continent.
