In any case, you are limited to the handful of tour companies, and the exact days they operate their tours.
Do you know when the weather starts going south? I was looking at koryo tours (although I will look into juche) and they have an individual tour option where you can make your own itinerary. I was considering going to Africa in Sept. or so, then from there heading to PEK to get the Air Koryo flight to FNJ. Would the weather still be ok in Sept/Oct. or brutally cold?
