Otau Shop

Western Mongolia


Cosy arts and crafts shop selling Kazakh felt handicrafts (bags, purses, slippers, hats) as well as traditional clothing. Prices start at around T4000. The owners live on-site; ring the bell to get in. Look for the attractive blue-and-white building opposite the theatre.
