Katse Village And Dam 

 Katse Village and the site of the Katse dam's wall is located some 50 kilometres (1 hour's drive in these highlands) from Ha Lejone and Motebong Village.

 Katse Dam Spill

The Lesotho Highlands Development Authority (LHDA) provides daily Katse dam wall tours, including an interesting tour of the interior of the dam wall. This tour commences with a comprehensive briefing of the history of the Lesotho Highlands water project (LHWP), from conceptualisation to construction, ending with a brief on the monitoring and control equipment that is housed within the dam wall.
