We at Koryo Tours have long prided ourselves on being the only company allowed to offer original DPRK programming, and 2010 has already proven to be a windfall. After years of continuous efforts, we are thrilled to announce our brand-new tour to Hamhung, a major industrial city on Korea's east coast.

Those on our August 7 - 16/17 Liberation Long Day Tour will be the first Western tourists to ever visit this area (again, US citizens are welcome). Our new itinerary adds a two-night Hamhung stay to the already packed ten-night schedule that includes trips to Mount Paekdu, Pyongyang, Kaesong, and other areas).

Details are still in flux, but as with everywhere else, we will maximise interaction with locals and see as much as time allows. Plan on staying one night in Hamhung proper and one night at the brand new Majon Beach Resort, where again, no Westerner tourists have ever been. We are now taking applications from anyone who wants to be among the first tourists in history to go to this major city and its stunning surrounding areas on either a group or independent tour.

As for our returning travellers we offer special discounts, so if you were looking for an excuse to go back, this may be the trip of a lifetime for you.
