Place: Tash Rabat, At-Bashy, Kyrgyzstan
Tash Rabat
Despite the fact that the caravanserai seems small - dwarfed by the surrounding mountains - it is quite large inside, holding a labyrinth of rooms which tunnel into the mountainside.
Description
Tash Rabat is a stone fortress/caravanserai dating from either the 13th or 15th century (depending on the source), which was once a prominent stop on the silk road. Tash Rabat is only about 60km from the city of Naryn; however, due to the quality of the roads, the trip takes about two and a half hours.
