North Korea

North Korea is relatively untouched in terms of tourism, which is unusual for a country that has so much to offer. With a troubled past and an uncertain future, North Korea is not likely to become a tourist hot-spot in the near future. The North Korean authoritarian government in the 1950s prohibited religion but if you do manage to obtain a visitor’s permit, Paekdu is a sight that is hard to miss. It’s the North Korea’s highest mountain, it is in fact an extinct volcano with a vast central crater and it’s of deep mythical importance.
