Revitalizing the Eastern Bamiyan Valley Gateway

At the heart of the Bamiyan Valley, the Shashpul Caravanserai is once again a place of activity and exchange and is undergoing work to become a carpet weaving centre. Restoration works are reshaping courtyards, domes, and interiors while remaining rooted in local knowledge and materials. Each stage of the restoration brings opportunities for training, employment, and craft production, reinforcing the connection between heritage and daily life. In the wider Bamiyan Valley, the project stands as a testament to renewal, resilience, and the enduring value of shared cultural spaces.
