Hi Richelle! Trips to DPRK have to be handled by a travel agency. A visa is necessary and can be picked up from Beijing as there’s no DPRK embassy in Manila.

It has always been my dream to visit that mysterious country! May I ask if How much would a trip to PRK would cost in peso? and how could a Philippine Passport Holder apply for a visa? How to get there? I’m pretty sure there are no direct flights from MLA to PRK right? Thank you very much and hope you could reply to my questions 🙂

Strange, right? My guide said that it was all because of their “foresight” in preparation of a future where there’ll be more people using the roads 🙂

Yes, it was what I expected it to be! But still it felt very surreal being there, not knowing for sure what is real and what’s not.
On whether I’d go back … definitely! There were many places I didn’t manage to visit this time around and the weather was not so good as well when I was there! Am thinking of going back next time maybe during autumn! 🙂

It was the first thing I thought when our plane was landing and I was looking at the big roads – where are all the cars?!

Thanks for sharing these!

That said, I’ve seen a lot of documentaries and accounts of travelers who’ve been there. Was it as you expected it to be? How do you feel now that you’ve seen and experience North Korea? Would you go back?
