The Trans-Siberian railway is one of the most epic journeys on planet Earth, most people take the train from Beijing to Moscow, not realising that there is another far more interesting option – Pyongyang – Moscow! We offer the choices of either adding this route onto your existing trip to the DPRK, or arranging your visa, flying you in, giving you a city tour, before setting you off on the journey to Russia. Many Beijing based companies charge the same, or more just to go from Beijing, we offer a seven day extravaganza including 3 countries, and ever changing terrain on the longest train journey in the world. If you wanted to break the journey up a little we can also offer tickets from Pyongyang to Zabairask, Irkutsk, and Omsk, obviously at a cheaper rate. We can also offer subsidised rates for groups of 6, and 10 + . Tickets are based on 2nd class soft sleepers (which we feel is more than comfortable), but we can offer 1st class cabins for those so inclined. For those wishing to link up with the Trans-Siberian railway in Beijing we can also organise your onward tickets from there.

End of Another Tour :(

Well we just returned from our wonderful first Arirang Tour of the year. 25 people 14 different countries represented, and some really great fun had by all! We did not even let the small matter of floods get in the way of our fun and managed to circumvent them by taking a bus from Dandong to Shenyang, jumping back on a train and even getting home an hour early! Expect some fresh pictures soon. We still have lots of space left on our September tours, so get in touch now!

Mt Kumgang and Hamhung opened to tours

We are happy to announce the oppening of two destinations available to our tours. The first is Mt Kumgang resort, which was previously ran through South Korea. Our June group were lucky enough to be one of the first group of tourists allowed in this area through the Northern side. This is now available as an option for all independent tours. Hamhung on the east coast of Korea is also now open to our tours, with us planning to take our first group there this September. It is also available for all independent tours, although some restrictions still apply to US and Japanese passport holders. For more details please e-mail us.

June Football tour

We have just returned from a very succesful football tour, where we had the chance to play football with kids at Kim Il Sung, and Yanggakdo Stadiums, get interviewed about the World Cup,and watch the Brazil and Portugal games with Koreans in local bars.

Due to the success of the tour we will be running another football based tour in 2011 to coincide with the domestic DPRK football season.
