This is a very rough budget.  When we make the official visit application I can confirm the actual prices of accommodation and minibus.  I’ve written the budget in AUD because we are all familiar with it, but I strongly recommend using Chinese Yuan (RMB) for everything, and I can convert the budget to RMB later.  You can withdraw RMB from the ATM machine in Beijing using any Visa debit or credit card. Due to sanctions, I do not recommend using USD at any time even though is it a common currency in DPRK.


Flights - economy class Beijing - Pyongyang return are around AUD $700, whereas the train tickets are around $300.  Please let me know if you would prefer flying.
