21st November 2024: YPT have removed 2025 and 2026 group tours to North Korea (DPRK) based on recommendations from our North Korean partners. This decision comes in light of several exciting updates we are planning for future tours once the borders reopen to all tourists.

While we anticipate that the travel dates will remain unchanged, we expect significant revisions to the itineraries. These changes align with current industry standards. For more information, you can read further details here, view a sample of the upcoming itineraries shortly, or contact us on tours@youngpioneertours.com to be notified when tourism resumes to North Korea.
