Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Only built in the late 19th century, the palace was the opulent seat of power of the last ruler/Khan of the Kokand Khanate. Then the Bolsheviks demolished 90 % of it, leaving only the facade and a few rooms ; a lot of restorations later, you now see a replica of the throne. It is still worth visiting and admire rich ornaments, timber ceilings and ceramic tiles.

We hired a driver and car for the 235 km through Kamchik Pass to this palace in Kokand. A guide met us for the walk along flowered paths to the entry ramp, explaining its building in 1871 by the last ruler of the Kokand Khanate.
After paying 15,000 som each, we first entered the Pavilion Courtyard, with its ash columns and colorful wood ceilings. Inside was the Entry Hall, then 2 Throne Rooms, precious Chinese/Japanese vases, then several addition rooms displaying Paleolithic artifacts, 13th-18th C armaments, and near an exits, old work carts. Worthwhile visit.

A part of the attraction of this impressive palace from the late 19th century is that while its beautifully decorated high entrance arch, four minarets, two courtyards and 19 rooms are a joy to explore, the Khan originally built it with seven courtyards and 119 rooms!! What is left may be a shadow of the Khan's original palace but the Uzbeks have done a great job with the restoration and as we saw many times along the silk road a worthy ancient building has been adapted as a museum and the one in the Khan's Palace is well worth a visit. I wouldn't drive to Kokand just to see the Khan's Palace, but if in Kokand it is not to be missed!

The high rating I give to this place is due to the quality guide, who told us the entire story of the Kokand khanate , its interaction with Bukhara khanate and the origins of the Babur and the Mogul empire.
Clearly the place is not as stunning as Registan, for example, but once we had the story, we realized the uniqueness of the place and it settled for us one of the most important historical pieces in history of Asia.

The Khan Palace is very impressive.
The tiling is absolutely beautiful, as are the ceilings.
Inside is a small museum, with some interesting historical pieces.

Now mainly a museum, I found Khans palace rather underwhelming compared to other sights in Uzbekistan. But having travelled for four hours to Kokand from Tashkent, it was only right that I visited one of two major attractions in this bustling university town. A ramp leads through the entrance studded with poles to ward of evil spirits and I believe the heavy wooden carved doors are original. The trip to Kokand was worth it for the scenery alone, but once here it is worth taking the opportunity to view the palace with it's vibrant green, blue and yellow tiles,.

if you are in the neighbourhood, it is a nice place to visit, but there is not enough to see for you to make the trip there.

While the outside of the palace is quite grand there were only a couple large courtyards and a few rooms on display. All a bit underwhelming in comparison to other locations along the silk road. That said the grounds were beautiful and if you are not going to Samarkand or Bukhara, it is worth a visit.
