Travel Earth - North Korea
North Korea is by far the most closed nation in the world, and not much is known about life inside the Hermit Kingdom. It is surrounded by myths and rumors, many having been created by its government. Even inside the country it is impossible to know where reality ends and fantasy (and lies) begins, a distinction even more difficult to make for the local population who have been isolated from the outside world for over 60 years. A visit to North Korea is a journey like no other. You can't interact with the local population, and you'll have two guides watching you every step of the way. But you can still be assured that you will experience plenty that will let you marvel long after you've left the country.

Dial A Flight - North Korea
Theres only one North Korea! In the news a lot of late, this country makes for a fascinating excursion. There is plenty of the weirdness you’ve come to expect (like a ban on certain haircuts or the fact old people and pregnant women aren’t allowed in the capital) but there is also a few more traditional tourist sights, including some exquisite national parks. Now’s the time to visit though as a unique destination, the hermit kingdom holds its head high.

Lonely Planet - North Korea
A communist land where time stands still, North Korea is one of the world's most bizarre countries. The architecture of Pyongyang, the DMZ at Panmunjeom and a slew of other quirky Kim-centric sights are the reasons to visit. However, there's absolutely no independent tourism - come by group tour or don't come at all!
