Private Tours from Shanghai

Shanghai is now increasingly becoming an alternative option to Beijing as the starting point for tours to the DPRK. In 2015, we saw the introduction of semi-regular direct flights between Pyongyang and Shanghai, highlighting the growing importance of the DPRK’s relationship with China

We offer three types of tours from Shanghai operating during the high-season (typically early April-late October).

Chollima Express Tours

Quick, Easy, and Good

Perfect for travelers on a budget, students, county collectors, or those just looking to get away for a few days, our Chollima Express Tours give a quick and well-rounded introduction to the DPRK. These tours have set itineraries, stay in budget hotels based on the season, and eat at tourist or hotel restaurants.

2.5 night Chollima Express Weekend Tour from Shanghai

*As these tours are arranged to provide a budget option to all, discounts are not available with the exception of children under 12 years of age. These tours are made possible by seasonal block bookings at hotels. Blackout dates may apply.

Koryo Special Opportunities and Experimental Tours from Shanghai

From time to time, we offer limited-time opportunities and deals for adventurous and flexible travelers. Our staff travel to the DPRK every few weeks and while in-country we often hear about upcoming events, activities, and new locations to visit. Often confirmation comes just a month or a few weeks before travel. For such special opportunities, we will do our best to advertise ahead of time here.

From experience, we also know that sometimes final confirmation for new events and activities is not always possible ahead of time. Yet these can often be the most rewarding times in Korea. To offset the uncertainty we discounted rates to those willing to take a chance and explore. Our Experimental Tours often focus on a specific theme with a set itinerary so that even if we can’t guarantee a particular event or activity then you will still come away from the country with an in-depth experience related to that subject.

Want to be among the first travelers to do something or see a new area? Interested in a themed trip to Korea? Check back with us periodically!

*The train option is unfortunately not available to those travelling on a US passport at this time

*Note: Tours leaving from Shanghai can exit Korea via other destinations but prices will differ based on purchase of two one-way tickets.
