Off the beaten path: North Korea

North Korea, the land of glorious leaders, where the time starts with Kim Il Sung's date of birth, where they have their own Godzilla - Pulgasari, where election ballots list only one candidate, is an off the beaten path destination and a very curious one. Although the regime in the country is weird, you can take plenty of tours accompanied by a government minder, and you will definitely be impressed by the amount of monuments, variety of museums, unusual abandoned places due to lack of interest or electricity, and pretty nature.
