About Mount Paektu

Mount Paektu ⛰️ in North Korea is a stunning volcanic peak with dramatic scenery, but it’s not suitable for digital nomads. Connectivity is extremely limited, access is tightly controlled, and independent work/travel is highly restricted. Best for brief, guided sightseeing only, not remote work. 🌋📵
