Moscow to Pyongyang is the longest uninterrupted train journey in the world, and after our successful trip last year YPT will be travelling there again from start to finish early this summer!
Although we are not doing the whole journey in one go we’ll have time to check out Moscow and the small town of Ussuriysk in Russia before we take the train over the border into North Korea – a route almost never experienced by tourists. We then will spend a day in Rason (the Special Economic Zone of North Korea), where we experience a economic side of the DPRK that is very different to its media portrayal – private markets and a bank – as well as its historical sites.
We’ll then head down to Pyongyang on a local train, navigating through five remote provinces of North Korea, passing untouched landscape and rarely viewed towns and villages.
Once in Pyongyang, we’ll be hitting up all the must-see sights such as Kim Il Sung Square, the Korean War Museum, ride the deep Pyongyang Metro, getting a beer with the locals and much more. Let’s not forget, no trip to the DPRK is complete without a visit down to the DMZ to see where both North and South Korea meet head-on.
Group A kicks off in Moscow and for those short on time Group B meets in Ussuriysk in Siberia, but we recommend doing the whole Moscow to Pyongyang journey. This is a tour for true pioneers.
Group A(€2595) start date: 18th May in Moscow
Group B(€1695) start date: 27th May in Ussuriysk
This tour closes on the 18th February and will only run if at least 6 people sign up. After the 18th of Februrary it still may be possible to join the tour, but this is dependent on train ticket availability. Please do not book your flight to Moscow until we confirm that the tour is going ahead two months before. For the tour to be successful, please register your interest as soon as possible.

Right after the Cuban revolution, Fidel Castro makes his first official visit to Venezuela. He refused to leave his guns behind and the Vzla government allowed him to publicly carry his loaded rifle and pistol even whilst being in foreign land and in an official state visit.
