The God Help Me Pass, or Lekhalong-la-Molimo-Nthuse in Sesotho, is a mountain pass (elev. 2318 m) in western Lesotho. It is the second mountain pass on the A 3 road going into the central highlands. The road ascends steeply from the village of Setibing, and near the summit is the Basotho Pony Trekking Centre, which offers a variety of trekking expeditions. The Makhaleng River flows close by Setibing, and its valley forms the western approach to the pass. The higher Blue Mountain Pass (2641 m), Lekhalong-la-Thaba-Putsoa, is a few kilometres further east, and the first mountain pass, Bushman's Pass, Lekhalong-la-Baroa, (2266 m) is about 10 km to the west, rising from the village of Nazareth.
This lovely pass has two unusual features. Firstly its indigenous name is very long at 21 letters and secondly it has the English name of 'God Help Me Pass', which conjures up instant images of fear and alarm. The reality is that today's version of the pass is actually quite easy to traverse along the tarred A3 main route compared to the original gravel road which was much steeper.
The pass is one of several big passes on the A3 between Maseru and Mohale. It has a summit height of 2332m and like most passes in Lesotho is subject to winter snowfalls and ice on the road. It has 31 bends, corners and curves of which 8 are greater than 90 degrees and of those 8 there are 4 bends of 180 degrees. A memorable name of a now well-maintained and accessible road pass.
God Help Me Pass is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 2.292m (7,519ft) above sea level, located in the Maseru district of Lesotho. The winding road to the summit, also known as Lekhalong-la-Molimo-Nthuse, is entirely paved and very curvy. It has 31 bends, corners, and curves, hence the name of the pass. It’s called A3 Road. Located in the western part of the country, the pass is 65.8km (40 miles) long, running from Nazareth to Marakabei
