North Korea Tours are not precisely the most common tours and the DPRK is certainly not a common country. The sheer lack of advertisements in the streets, the portraits of the country's leaders all around the country, the almost omnipresent political banners and slogans and an everlasting list of other aspects that shape this country into a category we can only label as unique, make North Korea an extremely interesting place to visit.
We have divided this section into different regions in the DPRK. Please click on the pictures of any place that is of interest to you for a more detailed description and more photos.
The DPRK officially includes the whole peninsula and North Koreans long for reunification. All the maps in the country include a the entire Korean peninsula and even the weather forecast of the southern part of the peninsula is broadcasted. As a result we will refer to each region of the DPRK in accordance to its position on the peninsula as a whole. Please note that KTG is a travel agency specialising in the DPRK and we hold no political stance whatsoever regarding the situation on the Korean peninsula.
