Are you bored with all the beaches and European tours? Are you looking for a different place to go for your next vacation? Well, a camping trip in North Korea might be just what you are looking for.
North Korea is known for being closed off from the rest of the world. For many years, it has kept foreigners from entering the country. But earlier this year, everything changed. North Korea allows tourists to go on camping trips in the mountains of Myohyang and Kumgang.
Koryo Tours is a touring company in Beijing, China. It organized the first 10-day camping trip to North Korea earlier this year. It says this is the first time people have set up a tent and stay in the mountains of North Korea. Ten westerners went on the trip. They hiked 79 kilometers during the tour. That was about 28 km per day. The travelers also visited landmarks in both mountains, such as the Kumgang Waterfall and Lake Sam II Po.
Koryo Tours is not the only one to give tourists camping trips to the North Korea’s mountains. Uri Tours is a tour company in the U.S. They are planning a 13-day trip to a number of mountains. The company hopes to get at least seven travelers together later in the year.
The North Korean government is trying to get more tourists by offering more variety in its tourism products. Pyongyang’s usual tourist trips include picking fruit at local farms and orchards and long train rides through the country.
