Tours to North Korea to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)

 North Korea (DPRK - Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea) or in Korean "Chosŏn Minjujuŭi Inmin Konghwaguk" is one of the most isolated countries in the world. Since the Korea War of 1951, the DPRK is still in war with South Korea and travels to the DPRK were very difficult, especially for US citizens. Only in the recent years there was a slow opening of the country and nowadays also US citizens are allowed to travel to North Korea. Currently there are around 15'000 to 20'000 people traveling every year to the DPRK. Compared to the 80 Mio and more arrivals only at Terminal 3 of Beijing airport, this is still an extremely low number and up to date not many people have visited North Korea.

The goal of Hiddenchina.net is to offer our clients unique and special tours in China. North Korea has shown to be a logical diversification of our tour offers, especially since there are only few travel companies in the world offering tours to the DPRK. Our tours are directly orgnaised with the Korea International Travel Company (KITC) and not through another western or Chinese travel agency. However, due to an exclusive agreement with a travel company in China, we are not allowed to organise tours for people residing in China, but for all other countries.

North Korea has made the headlines a few times in 2011, mainly due to a military conflict with South Korea and esepcially due to the dead of its leader Kim Jong-Il on December 17, 2011 and the succession of his precedessor and son Kim Jong-Un, who went to boarding school in Switzerland. Due to the isolated and political situation and the fact that not many people know that one can travel to North Korea, tours to the DPRK are definitely unique and recommended to experience something completely different from the Western World. Below you will find further information about North Korea and in our sub pages you will find tour samples which we will add over time.

It is no problem to organise an individual tour in North Korea, however, there will be at all time during the excursions a tour guide with you. It's also allowed to take pictures apart from sensitive areas, which you will be informed of by the guide. Please strictly follow the instructions of the guide, as otherwise he will get in serious trouble if you don't. Please contact us for individual tour offers.
