Mustang Caravanserai | After crossing the hill, I found no one was waiting

| After crossing the hill, I found that no one was waiting. There is actually Karavansaray in the Himalayas. I hope it won't be demolished, it's too precious in Nepal. This kind of ancient caravanserai is usually found along the Silk Road...Xinjiang/Central Asia/Northern India/Iran/Caucasus/Türkiye. ✓【Ancient Caravanserai】 It is currently in a semi-abandoned state, with only a few ascetics staying temporarily. It is unknown whether it will be demolished in the future. The fragile mud walls, bricks and wooden structures will soon collapse if they are not maintained! Ranipauwa.Muktinath.Mustang.Nepal Address: Ranipauwa (Muktinath).Mustang County Time: Unknown Tickets: None Altitude: 3600m ✓【Layout of Camel Palace】 Karavansaray/Caravan: Literally translated as "Camel Palace" Originally refers to the medieval caravan inns on the Silk Road, usually set up about 30-50km, usually a day's journey for a camel caravan. ① High walls to prevent wind and sand and defend against thieves ② Persian fountain (cancelled or demolished here) ③ Atrium, open-air space is conducive to lighting ④ Functional division: warehouse stables on the first floor, guest rooms on the second floor ⑤ Block material paving: Cargo horses and camels are heavy, and stone slabs can prevent them from being trampled and dusty! ⑥ In Nepali, "Sattal" means "inn". I wonder if it has the same origin as the Persian word Sarei.
