Day 1
AM
- Drive to the coastal city of Wonsan (east coast) - cross the DPRK from Pyongyang all the way to the east coast, a very rare occasion to see towns and life in these isolated areas of the country
- Stop at Sinpyong Guest House - relaxing views. Time for a refreshment before carrying on our journey to the other side of the DPRK.
PM
- Picnic Lunch: Ullim Waterfalls - These beautiful falls were discovered by soldiers in 2001. Ullim means echo in Korean

Day 2
AM

- Drive to Hamhung City - discover the second largest city in the DPRK. This industrial city only started receiving Western tourists in 2010 and is therefore considered even more "off the beaten track" of a destination.

- Mt. Donghung - has impressive views of Hamhung City and the whole surrounding area. Thee giant bronze statues of the leaders are here and it is a popular place for newly-weds to go and pay tribute.
PM
- Lunch: City Restaurant, Hamhung. Hamhung is well known for its potato starch noodles.
- Hamhung Grand Theatre - enormous theatre located in the city centre right across from the main square. Please bear in mind that in spite of being the second biggest city in North Korea with an estimated population of 800,000, Hamhung has only been opened up to tourism very recently and the site of foreigners here is extremely rare for locals (more so than in other areas in the DPRK) which will explain the surprise on many people's faces when seeing you.
- Home of Ri Song-gye - Founder of the Choson Dynasty, he overthrew the Koryo dynasty. His home is located in Hungnam disctrict which is home to many factories.
- Hungnam Fertiliser Factory - unique chance to visit one of the country's biggest factories
