 | Mongolia Shopping | Tips 1 - 10 of 16 |  |
Popular Shopping | Other Shopping Tips | All Tips (16) The State Department Store is in a big building with a plaza in front right on the main street, the Peace Avenue. This is well-documented and described by other VT tippers, too.
Other souvenir stores and handicraft stores have them, too. I asked a local about the quality of the bows and arrows sold in these stores, and he guaranteed they wer fine and of the normal sort used in Mongolia.
The traditional competition bow and arrow can be bought here.
It comes in three sizes: 1) children 2) women 3) adult men.
They are made from bone and wood and sinew if made properly. Add nylon string for modernity? And varnish.
They offered to pack mine in a tube for easy transport. However, transport logistics prevented me from buying one this time. But next time I'll go for it!
Silk clothing, , variations of the del (short versions are useful and nice for other places too.
Wool clothing.
Various arts
Visit the old market, but hold on to your valuables … pick pocketing
The prices vary from about 300 000 Tögörög to 40-50 000 by size and quality. Additional arrows and storage container extra. Leave a Comment Theme: Sporting GoodsAddress: Along Peace Avenue, UB.

In the restaurant wagon, they have a little shop where they sell typical products. We bought some cachemire gloves and a camel wool pullover.
Besides, in every station where the train stops you can see an intense trading through the windows, mainly between chinese people of the train and locals… Leave a Comment Theme: Other

This is a HUGE and very modern Department Store-cum-Supermarket.
Considering the fact that you are in Mongolia, a very REMOTE country, this place is actually quite well-stocked.
Everything, if you are not too demanding, seems to be available in the ground-floor supermarket floor and upper-floor department stores. Good to stock up on groceries to cook at your guesthouse. Leave a Comment Theme: Department StoreDirections: Right on the main avenue. Can't miss it.

I'm not sure what's the name of it in English, but in Mongolian it is something like this. It is located near the main train station (10m east from it on the same side of the street) - a grey two-story building.
A good one-stop shop for all your gifts - cashmere, carpets, leather goods and sheepskin. On the second floor at the very end there is a store selling goods made of yak wool - a good cheap alternative to cashmere. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftDirections: Near the main train station, say 'Vokzal' to the taxi driver.

The State Dept Store in UB has a great selection of souvenirs, including some wonderful Mongolian jackets, but the prices are a bit high. Save it for last, and instead do all the shopping you can at smaller, cheaper outlets. There's a good one around the corner from that Bayansomethingorother hotel near the square, and the small shop in the Juulchin Camp airport actually had some really nice postcards and masks. Or, of course, you can be a real tourist like us and manage to shop right in the middle of the Gobi!
Traditional jacket.
Sheep ankle bones (for fortune telling - make sure you get an English instruction kit!)
Wooden masks.
Vodka! Comes in a fantastic leather pouch. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

Dels, the Mongolian herdsman/woman clothing, can be bought fairly inexpensively. Actually you can buy the fabric, and have it made for you fairly quickly.
A snuff bottle is another popular item, they range from very cheap 5 dollar bottles to 100 dollars or more. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
