Kokhi Navruz (Navruz Palace)
Кохи Наврӯз
A luxurious palatial teahouse and banquet hall, known for its wood carvings, plasterwork and painted ceilings that showcase the skill of Tajik craftsmen.
Kokhi Navruz (Navruz Palace) was originally planned as the 'world's largest teahouse.' Completed in 2014, it now serves as a venue for state banquets and cultural events. It stands on the shore of Komsomolskoye Lake (also known as Youth Lake). More than ten halls inside are decorated in different styles, featuring carved wooden columns, inlaid plaster, mirror mosaics, malachite and lapis lazuli walls. Craftsmen from across the country took part in building it, and the interior is resplendent in gold. When there are no large events, visitors can pay to tour it (about 50 somoni, subject to change on site), and some halls have restaurant or teahouse areas. It can be combined with a walk along the lakeshore and a visit to the nearby Imam Abu Hanifa Grand Mosque.
Opening hours
