India's representation in Lesotho

Initially, India's diplomatic representation to Lesotho was handled by its High Commission in Botswana, and since 1996 India's High Commission in Pretoria, South Africa, has been concurrently accredited to Lesotho.

The brief names Shri Prabhat Kumar as India's High Commissioner, in connection with his visit to Maseru in January 2026. For Indian nationals living in Lesotho, the brief states that Consular Services Camps for rendering CPV services are organised regularly by the High Commission.
