- Village viewpoint above Katse Reservoir — a short walk from the cluster of houses brings you to a sweeping outlook over the Malibamat’so/Katse waters; great for sunrise photos and seeing how the dam carves into the highland landscape.
- Ha Lejone morning market — a small, lively market where locals sell eggs, maize, home-baked goods and the odd woven basket; best early in the day for real interaction and cheap snacks.
- Traditional Basotho homestead cluster — a tight group of thatched rondavels and cattle kraals; visiting (with permission) gives a clear, grounded sense of everyday family life and architecture here.
- Chief’s kraal (khotla) and meeting place — the social and administrative heart of the village; come during a public meeting or cultural event to hear local debate, songs and oral

- Ha Lejone Primary School — more than a building: a community hub where you can see school life, sometimes join in simple activities, and meet families — always knock and ask first.
- Village chapel — the local church or chapel is where people gather weekly; attending a service offers an authentic glimpse into spiritual and social rhythms.
- Shepherding paths and summer pastures — walk the routes shepherds use to graze sheep and cattle; it’s low-key, immersive, and a real way to experience Basotho pastoral life.
- Dry-stone terraces and field systems — the small, hand-built stone walls and plots around Ha Lejone show traditional farming techniques and make for pleasant, informative walks.
- Community water spring / stream — a practical meeting spot where locals collect water and wash; simple but revealing of daily routines and social exchange in the village.
- Local craft corner (weavers and embroiderers) — small-scale craft activity — baskets, blankets or embroidered items — often made at home; buying directly supports families and gives a hands-on look at local skills.
