Are there any restrictions for the hike?
Chernobyl Urbex tour means that you’ll hike about 90 km for 4 days with backpack by foot. That’s why you must have trekking experience or be in a good Physical shape.
Is it safe?
It would be a lie to give a 100% guarantee against capture by police in the Zone, but the police never caught us with tourists since 2010. We know the safe trails, move at nights and behave , carefully quiet. Anyways if we are caught by the police, we just need to pay a ridiculous administrative fine (about 20 €). That's why illegal tourism in the Chernobyl zone is so popular today.
How will radiation affect my health?
What you should know about the radioactive contamination of Chernobyl zone. First, the radiation covers the zone with spots, not evenly. We always choose the safe trails and stay in clean houses and apartments. Secondly, we have radiometers. In the third radiation levels no longer pose a health hazard in case of short-term arrival there. Finally, we've been visit the zone since 2010 and we're still alive! ;)
Can I get any souvenir from the Zone?
Respect the places you visit. No tags, no vandalism, no senseless destruction, no theft. Do not forget that people will visit the place after you do, so let them experience it just as you did! We always try to leave the place untouched and use the motto: "take only pictures, leave only footprints..."
