In the next few years an air strip was built and a road cleared through town to link Mokhotlong to the rest of Lesotho.
Even so, Mokhotlong continued to be outfitted with provisions and supplies by pony trek from Natal, South Africa, via Sani Pass.
The mountain range is host to activities including hiking trails, horse trails, rock climbing, white water rafting, fly and trout fishing, golfing, bird and game watching, safaris, and much more.
[4] In addition to regular activities, Mokhotlong hosts the annual High Altitude Summer Marathon at the end of the year.
Mokhotlong's economy is primarily driven by livestock rearing and subsistence agriculture, though neither of these fully supports most families.
GROW works with villages to increase agricultural production, support OVC households to improve livelihoods, capacity building, climate change adaptation strategies, etc.
