Kyrgyzstan is still an under-explored destination for tourists. However, those travelers who have already managed to visit Kyrgyzstan, try to bring as many original souvenirs as possible. For yourself, not to forget about the trip, and for friends, to express their love and warmest attitude.
In the Kyrgyz Republic is the largest market not only in the country, but in all of Asia – is Dordoi. Here tourists will find the most interesting souvenirs for unforgettable gifts:
