Lesotho has a unique geographical feature: its entire territory lies above 1,400 meters above sea level. Because of this, it's also known as the 'Kingdom in the Sky,' and the blue in the flag symbolizes rain.
The black mokorotlo depicted on the flag is more than just a hat; it's a cultural symbol representing Lesotho's identity. This traditional hat is still frequently worn at special events and festivals, and is also a popular souvenir.
