Pati (Nepali: पति), also called Sattal and Phalcha are a type of public rest houses in Katmandu Valley in Nepal. Patis are public rest-houses built in towns and villages for practical purposes to give shelter for pilgrims, travelers and traders. They are also used by locals as gathering space. Patis were usually built from donations by private individuals, religious groups or families. The first references to public rest houses in Nepal date back to the Lichhavi period (400 to 750 CE), but no building from this period has survived. Surviving patis today mostly date to late Malla period and Gorkha Kingdom.

Ambalama
An ambalama ( Sinhala: අම්බලම) is a place constructed for pilgrims, traders and travellers to rest in Sri Lanka. This is a simple structure designed to provide shelter for the travellers. The last examples of anbalange remained until about the end of the 1970s. There were no charges involved in using an Ambalama. History According to Anuradha Seneviratna and Benjamin Polk pilgrimage rest-houses like Ambalamas were well established before 230 BC as Mauryan kings issued orders carved on stones or iron columns for planting of avenues of trees and for building shelters for the comfort of pilgrims. Ambalamas in Sri Lanka, many of them several centuries old, have been kept close to their youth by the continuous replacements of decaying parts and are among the oldest wood structures in Sri Lanka. Prominent families of a locality donate and maintain a shelter, or they are put up by the villagers as a place to rest and meet. In literature In Salalihini and Gira sandeshas ...
