Join us for the celebrations marking Victory Day in the DPRK! Summer is a great time to be in North Korea and what better reason to go than to partake in the Victory Day events with the locals.
During this tour, we’ll be hitting up all the must-see sights of Pyongyang including the Mausoleum where both Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il lay in state. We’ll also experience the deep mysterious Pyongyang Metro as we ride not two but six stations of line 1! You’ll also have the opportunity to visit the Korean War Museum and see the North Korean’s story of the war that took place against the UN. No trip to the DPRK is complete without visiting Panmunjom (the DMZ) from the north side where North and South Korea meet head-on! As well as catching the Mass Dance performance with over 3,000 students and fire works!
We’ve combined this unique North Korean holiday with a very exciting trip up to Mt Paektu in the far northeast of the Korean peninsula. We’ll be chartering our very own Air Koryo plane to reach a path well off the beaten track! Whilst we’re exploring the northeast region, we’ll stop by Secret Base Camp where the Koreans say Kim Jong Il was born, explore early revolutionary campsites where the Koreans began to stage their attack against the Imperialist Japanese and to stay overnight in the quiet, gorgeous town of Samjiyon.
This is one of the biggest holidays of the year and with our very own flight up to Mt. Paektu, it’s an adventure not to be missed!
