Indian here, and honestly not just due to GZD, but I have been really always fascinated by the mystery of this country, and all the bad things everyone spouts. I want to check for myself one day, few years down the road. All I know about NK is linked URL

Edit: through the above documentary, I magically accidentally stumbled upon this girl, a tour guide in DPRK who knows and shares a lot of authentic info https://youtube.com/c/zoeDiscovers

    Apparently it’s sort of easy to go to if you know a legit touring company.

    The rules are also more nuanced than what the media says they are. Especially the camera rule. You are free to take pictures of many things but there are some rules to it (this is what I’ve heard and don’t have the sources for right now, maybe take it with a pinch of salt to be sure).

    I’ve been told that as long as you follow your tour guide rules, you will face no big problems. And if you make a mistake, that’s okay as well. They’re not the big bad country you are made to believe. IIRC there even is free time during your tour where you can walk around and stuff.

    Keep in mind that some of the rules seem stupid, but they are also there to protect THEM. It’s a highly sanctioned and threatened country that has to go huge lengths to protect itself as well.
