Travelling to North Korea in 2025
The DPRK closed their borders to foreign tourists due to covid in early 2020, and it now looks like they’ll finally reopen by next summer. I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to go for ages, I think it would be cool af honestly. I’m a big fan of the monuments and stuff, and I think it would be really cool to actually be in a place that seems so unknown and far off from my perspective.
Still though, with them sending troops to Ukraine and tensions with the ROK intensifying it may be an unwise time to visit, especially as a westerner.
Is anyone else planning to go? If you’ve already been, what advice would you give someone planning to go? If possible, I’d like to visit Pyongyang, Kaesong, and if possible, Paektusan and Kumgangsan. Koryo tours seems to be by far the most reliable company to go with based on my research.
